The Neel temperature T-N and the order-parameter critical exponent beta were obtained from the NMR line broadening as a function of temperature. As the applied field strength (H parallel to c) was increased, T-N increased and beta decreased. This behavior indicates that the field effectively enhanced XY anisotropy. The susceptibility as a function of temperature did not show a clear feature for T-N, but showed field-dependent minima below T-N for both H parallel to c and H parallel to ab, where minimum features disappeared for mu H-0 > 2T.Materials Science, MultidisciplinaryPhysics, AppliedPhysics, Condensed MatterMaterials SciencePhysicssquare-latticeheisenberg antiferromagnetsmpbhtext::journal::journal article::research article
