Cluster-glass behavior induced by local moment doping in the itinerant ferromagnet Sc3.1In

Abstract: In the presented work, Sc 3.1 In, a weak itinerant ferromagnet with no magnetic constituents, is doped with Er 3+ local moment ions, to form (Sc 1−x Er x ) 3.1 In. As x increases, the Weiss-like temperature θ stays positive and nearly triples up to x = 0.10. Moreover, Er doping of as little as x = 0.02 induces a cluster-glass state, which persists up to x = 0.10, as evidenced by dc and ac susceptibility measurements, and confirmed by the Vogel-Fulcher analysis.

“…There is a good fit with the data with τ 0 ∼ 10 −38 s, T g = 200.9(1) K, and zν = 18 (1). While the good fitting of equation ( 1) to the data suggests the possibility of a spin-glass-like phase transition, the value of the fitting parameter τ 0 is unphysical and zν is outside the range for a canonical spin glass (4-10) [44,45], but is close to the values reported for cluster glass and superspin glass (10-15) [29,30,[46][47][48]. The anomaly in τ 0 could be due to error in the estimation of the fitting parameter caused by the limited span of the frequency range.…”

“…of the peak in susceptibility, f 0 = 1/τ 0 a characteristic relaxation frequency with characteristic relaxation time τ 0 , z is the dynamic exponent, and ν is the critical exponent. The exponent zν is used as a general indicator for glassiness with typical values for systems with glassy behavior ranging from 2 ≤ z ν ≤ 14 49 . In 1T-Fe x TiS 2 spin glass behavior is observed for x = 0.1 − 0.7, with zν ranging from 7.61 to 17.21, as seen in Table III.…”
