Magnetic Properties of FeCr 2 S 4 -Based Solid Solutions in the FeCr 2 S 4 –CdCr 2 S 4 System

We have studied the magnetic properties of Cd1 –xFexCr2S4 solid solutions in the FeCr2S4–CdCr2S4 system in the range 0.6 ≤ x < 1. Measurements were made in the temperature range 5–300 K in static (≤7960 A/m) and ac (10, 100, and 1000 Hz) magnetic fields of 79.60 A/m peak. All of the materials have been shown to exhibit low-temperature magnetic anomalies due to the effect of orbital ordering in FeCr2S4, a basic component, at 10 K.
