摘要

Magnetic and heat capacity studies of the 1D anisotropic antiferromagnet SrCo2V2O8 demonstrate field-induced magnetic transitions in longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields. An antiferromagnetic (AF)-paramagnetic (PM) transition is observed instead of spin-flop transition in longitudinal magnetic field parallel to the magnetic easy c-axis. The temperature-field (T-H) phase diagram clearly shows that the AF-PM transition occurs in the same framework for both longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields in SrCo2V2O8. This is an experimental observation of such magnetic behaviors in an anisotropic antiferromagnet, irrespective of the field directions.
