Paramagnetism in Co x Zn1–x Cr2S4 solid solutions

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The magnetic properties of Co x Zn1–x Cr2S4 solid solutions have been studied at temperatures from 5 to 300 K in static magnetic fields of 7.96 × 103 and 3.58 × 106 A/m. We have determined the Curie temperatures, Curie–Weiss constants, and effective magnetic moments of the solid solutions. The experimental data are discussed with allowance for the magnetic phase diagram of the system.
