Influence of Manganese and Tin Substitution on the Structure and Magnetic Properties of CdCr2Se4

Article Preview

Abstract:

Single phase materials with general formula CdxMeyCr2Se4 (where Me = Mn, Sn) were obtained using solid state synthesis method. Both compounds are ferromagnets with TC =115K (Sn) and 135K (Mn). The values of Curie-Weiss parameter ΘC-W = 135K (Sn) and 145K (Mn) are higher than respective values of TC indicating a presence of competing antiferromagnetic component. The values of lattice parameters are consistent with Sn and Mn replacing Cd. Slight cadmium deficiency has been also observed.
