A pulse echo technique was employed to measure the ultrasonic attenuation and velocity in the 120–340 K temperature range on Nd2Cu1−xZnxO4 with x = 0, 0.02 and 0.05. A marked hysteresis in the velocity vs. temperature trend was observed. The Zn doping results in a reduction in the hysteresis loop area. Strong attenuation maxima were observed at 210 and 260 K. The results are discussed in terms of magnetoelastic interaction across the Néel temperature.

Abstract
A pulse echo technique was employed to measure the ultrasonic attenuation and velocity in the 120–340 K temperature range on Nd2Cu1−xZnxO4 with x = 0, 0.02 and 0.05. A marked hysteresis in the velocity vs. temperature trend was observed. The Zn doping results in a reduction in the hysteresis loop area. Strong attenuation maxima were observed at 210 and 260 K. The results are discussed in terms of magnetoelastic interaction across the Néel temperature.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
