Abstract

The influence of vanadium on spin- and charge-density waves (SDW and CDW, respectively) in single-crystal chromium is investigated by 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. Doping with vanadium quenches SDWs: both the maximum hyperfine (hf) field, Hmax, and the average hf field, Ha, decrease linearly with vanadium content, x, the former at a rate of 26.2 kOe/at% and the latter at 18.7 kOe/at%. The decrease of the normalized Hmax and that of Ha is the same within the error limit, and equal to 0.3 per at%.
