Abstract

The effects of magnetic doping on a EuB6 single crystal were investigated based on magnetic and transport measurements. A modest 5% Sm substitution for Eu changes the magnetic and transport properties dramatically and gives rise to concurrent ant--ferromagnetic and metal-insulator transtitions (MITs) from ferromagnetic MIT for EuB6.
