Popis: Magnetization measurements are made on single crystal samples of GdB 4 under static fields up to 14 T and pulsed fields up to ∼60 T. When the external magnetic field, H , is applied along the [110] spin easy axis, the magnetization increases non-linearly at around 12 T, indicating a spin reorientation from the easy axis to the direction perpendicular to H . The values of saturation field, H s , are, H s [110] ≃52 T, H s [100] ≃52 T and H s [001] ≃54 T. We analyze the results based on the two-dimensional model proposed by Shastry and Sutherland [B. S. Shastry and B. Sutherland: Physica B 108 (1981) 1069]. We obtain J 1 / k B =-8.9 K and J 2 / k B =-0.68 K, where, J 1 and J 2 are the diagonal exchange interaction and the exchange interaction along the edges of a square, respectively.
