Abstract

CuB2O4 single crystals have been grown and their magnetic and resonance properties have been investigated for the first time. The temperature dependence of the susceptibility was found to contain features at T=21 and 10 K. The CuB2O4 single crystal transformed at T=21 K to a weakly ferromagnetic state. The sharp drop in susceptibility at T<10 K is caused by a transition of the magnetic system of CuB2O4 to an antiferromagnetic state. The effective magnetic moment of the Cu2+ ion, determined from the high-temperature part of the magnetic susceptibility, is 1.77 µ B. The room-temperature g factors are, respectively, 2.170 and 2.133 for magnetic field parallel and perpendicular to the c axis of the crystal. The antiferromagnetic resonance parameters in the weakly ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases were measured.
