Abstract

The magnetization of antiferromagnetic superconducting GdBa2Cu3O6+δ has been measured for ∼1.5 < T ≤4.2 K for magnetic fields up to ∼20 T. We found that all Gd3+ spins are nearly parallel at very high fields, and that this saturated spin subsystem coexists with superconductivity. Below the Neel temperature, 2.22 K, we observed the transition from the “canted” phase to the paramagnetic phase by the application of a high magnetic field. The temperature dependence of this phase transition is also reported.
