We study the critical behaviour of the B-spinel ZnxCd1-xCr2S4 systems in the concentration range 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.5. Using the ferromagnetic spin-wave theory at low temperature, and the molecular field approximation, the exchange integrals were calculated up to third nearest neighbours. The critical region is studied by high-temperature series expansion extrapolated with the Padé Approximants method. The critical temperatures Tc and the critical exponents associated with the magnetic susceptibility γ and the correlation length ν are estimated. Tc obtained are in good agreement with those obtained by magnetic measurements. The values of γ and ν are sensitive to the dilution x.
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.
