Magnetoelastic tetragonal-to-orthorhombic distortion for RNi2B2C
Superconducting and antiferromagnetic transition for RNi2B2C
SUMMARY The Bitter decoration provides a distinctive high-resolution technique for observation of anisotropy FLL, vortex pinning as well as antiferromagnetic domain in magnetic superconductors. We have observed magnetic (vortex) structure for wide range magnetic fields and temperatures for superconducting and normal states for family RNi2B2C single crystals . We find the crystalographic ordered vortex structures in HoNi2B2C and ErNi2B2C result from pinning by magnetic twin boundaries in antiferromagnetic state. The domain magnetic structure have revealed in AF state in TbNi2B2C for the first time by Bitter decoration technique. Taking to account the symmetry of magnetoelastic distortions at AF transition in RNi2B2C we can predict that for DyNi2B2C at temperatures less than TN should be observed structures similar observed here for HoNi2B2C
