The beryllidewith the-type face-centered-cubic structure has been known to undergo a proper helical-magnet ordering from experimental studies using polycrystalline samples. In the present study, we carried out electrical resistivity, specific heat, and magnetization measurements of single-crystallinein order to investigate a mechanism of its helical ordering. These measurements reveal that the present compound is a metallic system exhibiting the magnetic ordering of localmoments at= 24.8 K accompanied with strong magnetic fluctuations extending to temperatures well above. Furthermore, we constructed a magnetic field–temperature (–) phase diagram for[001]. It consists of a multidomain state, which is composed of magnetic structures withapplied parallel and perpendicular to the helical plane, in the lower-magnetic-field region belowand a possible single-domain conical one in the higher-field region in the ordering state. The helical structure ofcharacterized by an incommensurate ordering vector q0 of (0, 0, 0.285) is discussed on the basis of a competition of Heisenberg exchange interactions between themoments assuming an one-dimensional layer crystal. The sequential change in the exchange interactions determined by a mean-field (MF) calculation can be essentially understood by the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction via anisotropic Fermi surfaces, whereas the orientation of the magnetic moments will be determined by the dipole-dipole interaction. On the other hand, the MF theory predicts a much smaller critical fieldthan the experimentally obtained one. To discuss the deviation offrom the MF calculation, we show a possibility of a fluctuation-induced first-order transition.
