Abstract
The magnetic susceptibility of MgCu 2 O 3 powder was measured between 0.2 K and 800 K. The results above TN can be fitted by a Curie–Weiss law plus a one-dimensional (1 — d) antiferromagnetic susceptibility and a constant susceptibility. Below TN the magnetic susceptibility has the large contribution from the paramagnetic impurity of free Cu 2+ ions in the compound. When we add Zn 2+ ions in the compound the Néel temperature decreases. On the other hand the Co doped MgCu 2 O 3 enhance the Néel temperature. Only a small number of Co ions changes the magnetic property of MgCu 2 O 3 drastically.
