AbstractThe magnetic susceptibility reveals a discontinuity at Néel temperature and a hysteresis loop with low coercive field was observed below Néel temperature. The magnetic susceptibility of zero field cool and field cool processes coincide at a temperature above the discontinuity, and they split at temperature blow the discontinuity. The magnetic susceptibility splitting is larger at lower external magnetic fields. No more magnetic susceptibility splitting was observed at a magnetic field above 7000 Oe which is consistent with the magnetic anisotropy energy. Our study supports that these magnetic susceptibility characteristics originate from an antiferromagnetic order accompanied by weak ferromagnetism.

Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of a powdered sample of VTe in the temperature range 90 - 700 K, and of the a.c. electrical conductivity (σ), thermoelectric power (θ) and dielectric constant (ε′) of pressed pellets of the compound in the temperature range 300 -1100 K are reported. The compound is found to be antiferromagnetic with Neel temperature 420 ± 5 K. The effective paramagnetic moment and paramagnetic Curie temperature are found to be 1.6 μB and - 250 K, respectively. The dependence of σ, θ and ε′ on temperature shows no anomaly at the Neel temperature and is indicative of the metallic nature of the compound.

Co doped TiO2 nanopowder has been synthesized by a simple sol–gel route. XRD and TEM analysis confirms anatase phase of TiO2 with crystallite and particle sizes of 10 and 15 nm respectively. Presence of Co is confirmed by EDX. FTIR shows a slight shift in the Ti-O bonding vibration to lower frequency suggesting dopant incorporation on Ti site. For magnetic measurements the sample with dopant amount x = 0.075 is annealed both in vacuum and air. Weak ferromagnetism and a blocking temperature of 39 K is obtained for vacuum annealed sample while ferromagnetism is lost in the air annealed sample and shows only paramagnetic behavior. Temperature dependent magnetic measurements for air annealed sample shows antiferromagnetic behavior with a Neel temperature of 36.51 K. Here we report that oxygen vacancy and cobalt aggregates is a key factor for inducing ferromagnetism–superparamagnetism in vacuum annealed sample. Appearance of Neel temperature reveals the presence of antiferromagnetic Co3O4 which is the oxidation results of metallic Co or cobalt clusters present on host TiO2 surface.

Three new heterometallic [CrIII8NiII6] coordination cubes of formulae [CrIII8NiII6L24(H2O)12](NO3)12 (1), [CrIII8NiII6L24(MeCN)7(H2O)5](ClO4)12 (2) and [CrIII8NiII6L24Cl12] (3) (where HL = 1-(4-pyridyl)butane-1,3-dione), were synthesised using the paramagnetic metalloligand [CrIIIL3] and the corresponding NiII salt. The magnetic skeleton of each capsule describes a face-centred cube in which the eight CrIII and six NiII ions occupy the eight vertices and six faces of the structure, respectively. Direct current magnetic susceptibility measurements on (1) reveal weak ferromagnetic interactions between the CrIII and NiII ions, with JCr-Ni = +0.045 cm-1 . EPR spectra are consistent with weak exchange, being dominated by the zero-field splitting of the CrIII ions. Excluding wheel-like structures, examples of large heterometallic clusters containing both CrIII and NiII ions are rather rare, and we demonstrate that the use of metalloligands with predictable bonding modes allows for a modular approach to building families of related polymetallic complexes. Compounds (1)-(3) join the previously published, structurally related family of [MIII8MII6] cubes, where MIII = Cr, Fe and MII = Cu, Co, Mn, Pd. <br>

The synthesis, crystal structure determination, magnetic properties and bonding interaction analysis of a novel 3d transition-metal complex, [CrBr2(NCCH3)4](Br3), are reported. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction results show that [CrBr2(NCCH3)4](Br3) crystallizes in space group C2/m (No. 12) with a symmetric tribromide anion and the powder X-ray diffraction results show the high purity of the material specimen. X-ray photoelectron studies with a combination of magnetic measurements demonstrate that Cr adopts the 3+ oxidation state. Based on the Curie–Weiss analysis of magnetic susceptibility data, the Néel temperature is found to be around 2.2 K and the effective moment (μeff) of Cr3+ in [CrBr2(NCCH3)4](Br3) is ∼3.8 µB, which agrees with the theoretical value for Cr3+. The direct current magnetic susceptibility of the molecule shows a broad maximum at ∼2.3 K, which is consistent with the theoretical Néel temperature. The maximum temperature, however, shows no clear frequency dependence. Combined with the observed upturn in heat capacity below 2.3 K and the corresponding field dependence, it is speculated that the low-temperature magnetic feature of a broad transition in [CrBr2(NCCH3)4](Br3) could originate from a crossover from high spin to low spin for the split d orbital level low-lying states rather than a short-range ordering solely; this is also supported by the molecular orbital diagram obtained from theoretical calculations.

AbstractThree kinds of copper oxide (CuO) films, that is, CuO mono-layer films (MLFs), CuO/A12O3 artificial superstructured films (ASFs) and CuO/MgO ASFs were prepared by a reactive vapor deposition method. Magnetic susceptibility of the MLFs is almost constant against temperature and the Neel temperature (TN) is a little lower than that of bulk CuO. There is paramagnetic contribution proportional to the number of the interfaces for both kinds of ASFs. It is considered to be caused by imperfect -Cu-O-Cu- antiferromagnetic superexchange interactions located in the vicinity of interfaces.
