Abstract

Time differential perturbed γγ angular correlation spectroscopy on Cd111 nuclei probes inserted in ZrZn1.9 is used to measure the magnetic hyperfine fields at Zr and Zn sites and the electric-field gradient Vzz at Zn sites as a function of temperature at various pressures and as a function of pressure at the temperature 4 K. Our data indicate that the local magnetic moment of Zr in the magnetically ordered state is substantially larger than its value obtained from the macroscopic measurements. The transformation between paramagnetic and magnetically ordered states is considered as a fluctuation-induced first-order transition. We conclude that ZrZn2 is not a simple ferromagnet and discuss a possible type of its magnetic ordering.
