Phys. Rev. B 78, 012410 (2008) [4 pages]Magnetic properties of the charge density wave compounds RTe3 (R=Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm)Received 1 May 2008; published 21 July 2008 The antiferromagnetic transition is investigated in the rare-earth (R) tritelluride RTe3 family of charge-density wave (CDW) compounds via specific heat, magnetization, and resistivity measurements. Observation of the opening of a superzone gap in the resistivity of DyTe3 indicates that additional nesting of the reconstructed Fermi surface in the CDW state plays an important role in determining the magnetic structure. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
