Abstract
We have studied the magnetic properties of transition metal intercalated niobium dichalcogenides CoNb\(_3\)S\(_6\), NiNb\(_3\)S\(_6\) and CuNb\(_3\)S\(_6\), which are synthesized by a chemical vapor transport (CVT) method using TeBr\(_4\) as transport agent in a horizontal two-zone tube furnace. CoNb\(_3\)S\(_6\) and NiNb\(_3\)S\(_6\) order antiferromagnetically below 30(2) K and 44(3) K, respectively. At high temperatures, the magnetic susceptibility is well described by the Curie-Weiss law and the deduced effective magnetic moments are 4.6(1) \(\mu\) \(_B\)/Co for CoNb\(_3\)S\(_6\) and 2.6(6) \(\mu\) \(_B\)/Ni for NiNb\(_3\)S\(_6\). In the case of CuNb\(_3\)S\(_6\), no magnetic phase transition is observed from 2 to 300 K.
