Magnetic and structural properties of Ni-substituted magnetoelectric Co4Nb2O9

Abstract: The magnetic and structural properties of polycrystalline Co 4−x Ni x Nb 2 O 9 (x = 1, 2) have been investigated by neutron powder diffraction, magnetization and heat capacity measurements, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For x = 1, the compound crystallizes in the trigonal P3c1 space group. Below T N = 31 K it develops a weakly noncollinear antiferromagnetic structure with magnetic moments in the ab plane. The compound with x = 2 has crystal structure of the orthorhombic Pbcn space group and… Show more

“…That is why, relaxation in the dielectric behavior is observed. Furthermore, the Curie−Weiss fitting of the dc magnetization from high temperature does not follow the magnetization curve at temperature lower than 150 K. 16,28 In addition, heat capacity measurement by Papi et al 51 shows that the magnetic contribution in heat capacity persists until 100 K much higher than T N along with a peak around 27 K (T N ) and a cusp-like feature around 50 K. These observations support that the dielectric relaxation around 60 to 120 K is due to the lattice distortion mediated by spin-phonon coupling. Similar results were reported in geometrically frustrated spin chain system Ca 3 Co 2 O 6 because of the lattice distortion and presence of magnetic interactions well above the T N .…”
