Crystallographic and Magnetic Properties of LiCoPO4at low temperature

In Situ Studies and Magnetic Properties of the Cmcm Polymorph of LiCoPO4 with a Hierarchical Dumbbell-Like Morphology Synthesized by Easy Single-Step Polyol Synthesis

“…The magnetic field-induced phase transition occurs at about 10 kOe caused by the switching from an antiferromagnetic to ferro (or ferri) magnetic state upon increasing the magnetic field. In literature, a weak-ferromagnetic to an antiferromagnetic state transition in LCP-Pnma was reported [41], caused by a distortion of the octahedral, formed by cobalt and oxygen atoms at low temperatures (T = 23 K); however, in order to study the origin of these metamagnetic transitions as well as the magnetic structure in different magnetic states, neutron powder diffraction experiments are required for LCP-Cmcm. value of the effective magnetic moment can be explained by the strongly coupled Co-O-Co superexchange interactions with Co 2+ magnetic moments or higher order interactions, such as, Co-O-P-O-Co [39,40].…”
