| contents | Neutron scattering and muon spin rotation ($μ$SR) measurements on single-crystal SmAu$_3$Al$_7$ reveal magnetically ordered states associated with successive transitions at $T_{\rm N}$ = 2.8 K and $T^*$ = 0.9 K. Magnetic Bragg peaks appear below $T_{\rm N}$ with an incommensurate (IC) propagation vector ${\bf q}$ = (0.30, 0, 1.33). $μ$SR detects spontaneous internal fields below $T_{\rm N}$, and the spectral shape is consistent with the IC magnetic ordering. No anomalies are observed at $T^*$, indicating that the magnetic structure remains essentially unchanged below and above $T^*$. The magnetic order is revealed to be a spatially homogeneous long-range ordered state, rather than a partially disordered state proposed in earlier studies. The possible connection between the IC magnetic order and the enhanced low-temperature magnetic specific heat is discussed. |
