摘要:

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。

英文摘要:

We present the magnetic properties of complete solid solutions of ZnCr$_2$O$_4$ and CoCr$_2$O$_4$: two well-studied oxide spinels with very different magnetic ground states. ZnCr$_2$O$_4$, with non-magnetic $d^{10}$ cations occupying the A site and magnetic $d^3$ cations on the B site, is a highly frustrated antiferromagnet. CoCr$_2$O$_4$, with magnetic $d^7$ cations (three unpaired electrons) on the A site as well, exhibits both Néel ferrimagnetism as well as commensurate and incommensurate non-collinear magnetic order. More recently, CoCr$_2$O$_4$ has been studied extensively for its polar behavior which arises from conical magnetic ordering. Gradually introducing magnetism on the A site of ZnCr$_2$O$_4$ results in a transition from frustrated antiferromagnetism to glassy magnetism at low concentrations of Co, and eventually to ferrimagnetic and conical ground states at higher concentrations. Real-space Monte-Carlo simulations of the magnetic susceptibility suggest that the first magnetic ordering transition and features of the susceptibility across $x$ are captured by near-neighbor self- and cross-couplings between the magnetic A and B atoms. We present as a part of this study, a method for displaying the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility in a manner which helps distinguish between compounds possessing purely antiferromagnetic interactions from compounds where other kinds of ordering are present.
