Abstract

The magnetic properties of the Fe1 – xZnxCr2S4 alloy were studied using the method of random fields of exchange interaction. The critical concentrations, at which a transition from a ferrimagnetic state to a spin-glass state (\(x = 0.66\)) with a subsequent transition to an antiferromagnetic state (\(x = 0.99\)), are observed. A magnetic phase diagram, which compares the calculation results with the experiment, was constructed.
