Magnetic and spectral properties of the multisublattice oxidesSrY2O4:Er3+and

Abstract: SrEr 2 O 4 is a geometrically frustrated magnet which demonstrates rather unusual properties at low temperatures including a coexistence of long-and short-range magnetic order, characterized by two different propagation vectors. In the present work, the effects of crystal fields (CFs) in this compound containing four magnetically inequivalent erbium sublattices are investigated experimentally and theoretically. We combine the measurements of the CF levels of the Er 3+ ions made on a powder sample of SrEr 2 O 4… Show more

“…30 For both sites, there is no obvious correspondence between the suggested anisotropy and the oxygen atom positions surrounding the magnetic ions, an observation that also applies to SrEr 2 O 4 . 31 We investigated the sensitivity of the g-tensor to small variations of the oxygen atom positions within their experimental uncertainty. For site 2, the effects on the g-factors and the orientation of the principal axes were negligible.…”

“…Further, the anisotropic next-nearest-neighbor model was applied to SrHo 2 O 4 and the relevant parameters estimated [19]. For SrEr 2 O 4 , the latest estimates of the exchange and dipolar interactions were derived from the four-particle self-consistent model [20]. Despite all the above and the recent theoretical developments [21], it is fair to state that a full understanding of which interactions are dominant in each compound is still largely missing.…”

“…Therefore, the second type of short-range order present in this material is one-dimensional in real space, and it persists over a wider temperature range-the onset of these correlations may also be observed with bulk heat capacity measurements as the broad peak around ∼3 K. The coexistence of the two types of diffuse scattering in SrHo 2 O 4 is likely to be the result of the presence of two crystallographically inequivalent sites for Ho 3+ in the unit cell. Other members of the SrLn 2 O 4 series, SrEr 2 O 4 and SrDy 2 O 4 , also show the coexistence of two markedly different types of magnetic ordering at low-temperatures [7,15,16].…”
