Structure and magnetic properties of the compounds $Zn_{1-x}Cu_xCr_2O_4$ (ZCCO) are investigated systematically. A structural phase transition from space-group symmetry $Fd3m$ to $I4_1/amd$ is observed in ZCCO. The critical value of the doping, $x$, appears at $0.58\sim 0.62$ through the appearance of a splitting of diffraction peaks at room temperature. Measurements of dc magnetization, ac susceptibility, memory effect and exchange bias-like (EB-like) effect have been performed to reveal the glassy magnetic behaviors of ZCCO. The system with $x\leqslant 0.50$ is suggested as a spin glass-like (SG-like) of magnetic characterization whereas doping values of $0.58\leqslant x\leqslant 0.90$ defines the system as a $"$cluster glass-like$"$ (CG-like) with unidirectional anisotropy. The Cu content suppresses the geometrical frustration of $ZnCr_2O_4$, which may correlate with the pinning effect of Cu sublattice on Cr sublattice to a preferential direction.
Optical detection of magnetic orders in HgCr$_2$O$_4$ frustrated spin magnet under pulsed high magnetic fields
在高达55 T的脉冲强磁场下对HgCr $_2$ O $_4$粉末样品进行了磁光测量。在磁场中观察到的激子-磁振子-声子光学跃迁谱的强度变化与磁化强度、X射线衍射的晶格畸变和电磁共振的强度变化一致。在完全极化的磁性相之前检测到最后有序相,类似于其它铬尖晶石氧化物ZnCr $_2$ O $_4$和CdCr $_2$ O $_4$。
Structural ground states of ($A,A'$)Cr$_2$O$_4$($A$=Mg, Zn; $A^{\prime}$ = Co, Cu) spinel solid solutions: Spin-Jahn-Teller and Jahn-Teller effects
我们研究了少量的磁性取代基的$A$网站的挫折尖晶石MgCr $_2$ O $_4$和ZnCr $_2$ O $_4$的效果。具体来说,我们寻找自旋和晶格无序对这些化合物中伴随磁有序的结构变化的影响。在Zn $_{1-x}$ Co $_{x}$ Cr $_2$ O $_4$(其中0\,$<$ \,$x$\,$\leq$\,0.2)的非磁性Zn $^{2+}$位上取代Co $^{2+}$完全抑制了ZnCr $_2$ O $_4$的自旋Jahn-Teller畸变,尽管这些系统仍然受到抑制,并且磁有序在$T$ \,$<$\,20\,K的非常低的温度下发生。另一方面,在Mg $_{1-x}$ Cu $_{x}$ Cr $_2$ O $_4$和Zn $_{1-x}$ Cu $_{x}$ Cr $_2$ O $_4$中,Jahn-Teller活性Cu $^{2+}$取代Mg $^{2+}$和Zn $^{2+}$,其中0\,$<$\,$x$ \,$\leq$\,0.2在远高于这些固溶体的Néel温度的温度下诱导Jahn-Teller有序化,然而,自旋相互作用仍然受到在20 μ K以下发生的长程磁有序的阻碍,而没有任何进一步的晶格畸变。Jahn-Teller畸变固溶体Mg $_{1-x}$ Cu $_{x}$ Cr $_2$ O $_4$和Zn $_{1-x}$ Cu $_{x}$ Cr $_2$ …
Magnetic phase evolution in the spinel compounds Zn$_{1-x}$Co$_x$Cr$_2$O$_4$
我们提出了完整的固溶体的ZnCr $_2$ O $_4$和CoCr $_2$ O $_4$的磁性:两个充分研究的氧化物尖晶石具有非常不同的磁基态。ZnCr $_2$ O $_4$是一种高度受抑的反铁磁体,其中非磁性$d^{10}$阳离子占据A位,磁性$d^3$阳离子位于B位。CoCr $_2$ O $_4$在A位上也具有磁性$d^7$阳离子(三个未配对电子),表现出Néel亚铁磁性以及相称和不相称的非共线磁序。最近,CoCr $_2$ O $_4$的极性行为已被广泛研究,这是由于锥形磁有序。在ZnCr $_2$ O $_4$的A位上逐渐引入磁性导致在低浓度的Co下从受抑反铁磁性到玻璃磁性的转变,并且最终在较高浓度下到亚铁磁性和锥形基态。实空间的Monte-Carlo模拟的磁化率表明,第一个磁有序转变和跨$x$的磁化率的功能被捕获的磁性A和B原子之间的近邻自耦合和交叉耦合。作为这项研究的一部分,我们提出了一种方法,用于显示的磁化率的温度依赖性的方式,这有助于区分具有纯粹的反铁磁相互作用的化合物从化合物的其他种类的有序存在。
