Because of their several attractive features including relatively high Curie temperatures, substituted lithium ferrites have become important for applications at microwave frequencies. N~el collinear arrangement of spins on A and B sublattices is unable to satisfactorily explain the 0°K saturation moments and the observed Curie temperatures of the zinc-substituted lithium ferrites, especially at concentrations of zinc z > 0-3 in the formula Lio.s-~/2 Zn, Fe 2.s _ ,/2 04. Rosencwaig's localized canting model has been extended and used to compute 0 ° K magnetic moments and Curie temperatures of these ferrites with substitution levels up to z = 0-7. Reasonably good agreement between the calculated and experimental values, both for the 0°K magnetic moments and the Curie temperatures, has been obtained using exchange parameters ratios based on the values J, =-20°K, J~-8°K and Jab = J~ =-29OK.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
