Abstract

The EuNi₂(Si_1-xGe_x)₂ system exhibits a temperature- and field-induced valence transition from Eu³⁺ to Eu²⁺ in the concentration range 0.75≤x≤0.85. In this study, we performed magnetization measurements on compounds with 0.5≤x≤0.75 in ultra-high fields up to 300 T generated by explosive compression of magnetic flux. We observed a jump of the magnetization, indicating a field-induced valence change from Eu³⁺ to Eu²⁺ for each compound. The critical field increases linearly with decreasing x and reaches a value of 225 T for x = 0.5.
