It is the superexchange interactions between the Tb3+ spins which induce the terbium magnetic moments. Our results are analyzed in terms of a tetragonal perturbation for Tb2Ti2O7 and this perturbation plus a molecular field for Tb2Sn2O7.Antiferromagnet Tb2Ti2O7Spin Icetext::journal::journal article::research article
