Coexistence of Antiferromagnetic and Spin Cluster Glass Order in the Magnetoelectric Relaxor MultiferroicPbFe0.5Nb0.5O3

Abstract: The coexistence of cluster glass with long-range antiferromagnetic order in the relaxor ferroelectric PbFe 0.5 Nb 0.5 O3 is elucidated. While the transition at T(N) = 153 K on the infinite antiferromagnetic cluster induces 3m symmetry with large EH2 magnetoelectric response, the disconnected subspace of isolated Fe3+ ions and finite clusters accommodates the cluster glass below T(g) = 10.6 K with field-induced m' symmetry and EH-type magnetoelectric response. Critical slowing-down, memory and rejuvenation afte… Show more

“…The chemical structures of both materials are essentially identical 18,19 . Despite the strong structural similarities, magnetic properties of PFT are not very well understood in contrast to the generally accepted antiferromagnetic (∼143 K) and spinglass (12 K) transitions in PFN 9,[20][21][22] . One of the challenges with PFT is that indications of the magnetic transitions in dc magnetic susceptibility are strongly sample-dependent.…”

“…The Fe +3 ions are known to cluster in pure PbFe 1/2 Nb 1/2 O 3 and PbFe 1/2 Ta 1/2 , which is responsible for the relatively high magnetic ordering temperature for only 15-20 % Fe-occupation of the B-site in our specimens. 43,44 The magnetization M(T) shows only one divergence (near 50 K) with no sign of a second phase or phase transition. It is worth mentioning that with increase in PFT contents (x=0.6) this system does not show any increased magnetic ordering; x= 0.4 possess low magnetization compare to x= 0.3.…”

“…The basic magnetic properties of PFN were reported many years ago [8] but because of their complexity they were not up to now consistently interpreted. Above the Néel temperature T N ≈ 145 K PFN is a paramagnet (PM) and below T N this compound seems to represent a mixture of the long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) and superantiferromagnetic (SAF) Fe 3+ clusters [4]. At low temperatures a cluster glass (CG) state is observed with a freezing temperature near 10 K [1,2,4,7].…”
