摘要：
The geometrically frustrated pyrochlores Gd2Hf2O7 (GdH) and Gd2Zr2O7 (GdZ) are easy planar anisotropic systems in which considerable single-ion crystal-field anisotropies of D-3d symmetry are found in the ground multiplet S-8(7/2) due to admixture of higher Russell-Saunders terms. The S-8(7/2) splits into 4 doublets with total CF splitting 9.9 K in GdH and 9.4 K in GdZ. The magnetic specific heat C-mag follows a conventional T-3 behavior in GdH and an unconventional T-4.6 behavior in GdZ down to 0.4 K.
