Randomly canted structures in the ferrite ZnxMg1−xFe2O4

Critical analysis of magnetically semi-disordered systems: critical exponents at various transitions

“…The properties of the three systems C [45][46][47], D [39,48] and E [40,49,50] for the compositions studied are similar. A non-linear continuous increase of the magnetization with the applied field is observed at all temperatures until H = 20 T. This means that canted spin structure occurs for any temperature lower than T N .…”

Sol–gel route of synthesis of nanoparticles of MgFe2O4 and XRD, FTIR and VSM study

“…Moreover a canting angle of 51158 0 has been determined for this system. The presence of canted moments in MgFe 2 O 4 has been reported in literature [28,29]. The finite size effect of the nanoparticles leads to a non-collinearity of magnetic moments on their surface, which in turn leads to spin disorder [26].…”

Studies of the magnetic ordering in the spinel system Zn0.4Co0.6AlxFe2−xO4 by neutron diffraction

“…Semi-spin-glass like behavior was observed by Brand et al in Mg-Ti ferrite [11] and by Dormann et al in Li-Ti ferrites [12]. Nogues et al observed the existence of a local canted state in the Zn x Mg 1−x Fe 2 O 4 (x > 0.5) ferrite system [9]. A perturbed magnetic ordering in the Zn x Co 1−x FeCrO 4 (x ≥ 0.5) system with the existence of finite spin clusters uncorrelated with the infinite magnetic network has also been reported [22].…”

“…In the last few years, a considerable amount of work has been carried out on the spinel systems and a variety of perturbed magnetic orders have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Systems with spinel structure are found to be more interesting because they bring in the possibility of introducing a variety of magnetic types of disorder.…”
