✦ Synopsis
The spin-flip scattering (SFS) between conduction and Eu 2þ 4f 7 ( 8 S 7=2 ) electrons in the paramagnetic phase of EuB 6 (TXT C % 15 K) is studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) and magneto-resistance (MR) experiments. The observed Dysonian resonance suggests a metallic environment for the Eu 2þ ions. ESR at high field, H ffi 12:05 kG (n ffi 33:9 GHz), shows an anisotropic line width with cubic symmetry. ESR at low-field, 1.46 kG (4.1 GHz) and 3.35 kG (9.5 GHz), shows broader line width and smaller anisotropy than at higher field. The narrowing and anisotropy of the line width at high fields are indicative of a homogeneous resonance where the line width is mainly governed by the SFS mechanism due to the exchange interaction between Eu 2þ 4f 7 and conduction electrons. Besides the negative MR, we found an anisotropic MR with cubic symmetry. These results are interpreted in terms of magnetic polaron and Fermi surface effects.
