Crystals of the CuCr 2 Se 4 ferromagnetic spinel and spinel-based solid solutions are shown to form in glass-forming alloys of the Cu 2 Se-As 2 Se 3 -Cr 2 Se 3 -Se system containing Cr 2 Se 3 at a content greater than 0.005 mole fractions. The crystalline phases are identified by the magnetochemical method (from the Curie temperatures) and X-ray diffraction analysis. According to electron microscopy, the crystal sizes are equal to several micrometers. IR irradiation of the samples in a magnetic field leads to an increase in the magnetization. The excess magnetization disappears after the external magnetic field is removed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
