Magnetic exchange interactions of rare-earth-substitutedDyCrO3bulk powders

“…For H C , the temperature dependence has a general trend with decrease in temperature below Cr N T : H C first increases reaches a broad plateau, and then decreases with further decrease in temperature. Such a broad peak in the temperature dependence of H C data was recently reported for pure DCO bulk [37] and was qualitatively interpreted on the basis of superimposing Cr 3+ and Dy 3+ magnetic sub-lattices. [37,38] There are two aspects of these results, which require interpretation viz.…”

Complex magnetic behaviour and evidence of a superspin glass state in the binary intermetallic compound Er5Pd2

“…Inset of figure 2 (b) shows the temperature dependent H C calculated from M(H) isotherms. The curve shows a sharp increment below 10 K. It has been reported in literature that for a single domain particle H C varies as T -1/2 [31], while for the canted AFM system, it was found to show parabolic behaviour [20]. Such sharp increment in the value of H C was noted for systems where the phenomenon freezing of individual spins/group of spins occurs, as was observed in glassy magnetic systems [32,33].…”

“…Isothermal magnetization versus magnetic field curve was recorded in the temperature range of 2-100 K and the selected curves are displayed in Figure 2 also in canted AFM systems [4,20].The observed features in temperature and field magnetization described above has been reported for phase separated systems where ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases co-exists, in glass-like magnetic state, highly anisotropic ferromagnets, in compounds with canted magnetic structure arising from competing AFM and FM exchange interactions and, occasionally, in high-anisotropic antiferromagnets with random orientations of crystallites [21][22][23][24]. Thus it appears that below the phase transition temperature the magnetic behaviour of the compound is quite complex.…”

Observation of ferroelectricity and magnetoelectric coupling in Mn-doped orthochromite DyCr 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 3

“…Later, Rajeswaran reported that RCr 0.6 Mn 0.4 O 3 (R= Y, La, Lu) exhibit ferroelectric polarization at T N [6]. Compared to YCrO 3 , previous investigation on DyCrO 3 mostly focused on the structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties [11][12][13]. The magnetic ground state of DyCrO 3 is G-type antiferromagnetic ordering with T N =146 K. However, doping Fe at Cr sites can make DyFe 0.5 Cr 0.5 O 3 exhibit weak ferromagnetism [14,15].…”
