Abstract

The magnetic properties of (Cu0.5In0.5)1 – xFexCr2S4 (x = 0–0.3) solid solutions between the FeCr2S4 ferrimagnet (TC = 170 K) and Cu0.5In0.5Cr2S4 antiferromagnet (TN = 28 K) have been studied in the temperature range 5–300 K using static and dynamic magnetization measurements. The results are interpreted in terms of cluster models for the formation of new magnetically active phases.
