Magnetic order and ice rules in the multiferroic spinel FeV2O4

Abstract: We present a neutron diffraction study of FeV2O4, which is rare in exhibiting spin and orbital degrees of freedom on both cation sublattices of the spinel structure. Our data confirm the existence of three structural phase transitions previously identified with x-ray powder diffraction, and reveal that the lower two transitions are associated with sequential collinear and canted ferrimagnetic transitions involving both cation sites. Through consideration of local crystal and spin symmetry, we further conclude … Show more

“…This sample also shows no OO transition due to the fact that it is approaching the itinerant electron behavior with the small V-V distance. In the AV 2 O 4 system, this increased electronic itinerancy due to the decreased V-V distance has been theoretically predicted [22,23] and experimentally confirmed [24][25][26]; (iii) FeV 2 O 4 [27][28][29][30][31][32] exhibits at least three transitions. It is unique since the Fe 2+ (3d 6 ) ions have orbital degrees of freedom in the doubly degenerate e g states.…”

“…This substitution induces voids in terms of orbital degrees of freedom at Asite, because the Mn 2+ (5µ B ) has no minority-spin, and therefore it has no orbital degrees of freedom at A-site. Moreover, similar two-step magnetic phase transitions have been reported for FeV 2 O 4 and MnV 2 O 4 [2,5]. Hence, it is expected to clarify the role of the orbital degeneracies of Fe 2+ and V 3+ ions in the phase transitions.…”

“…Furthermore, in the heat capacity curves, two peaks are observed in every curve, where the temperatures correspond to those of the clear rise at T N1 and of the anomaly at T N2 in the M-T curves. Considering the past study on magnetic structure of FeV 2 O 4 at low temperature phases [5], these behaviors at T N1 and T N2 indicate the FM and the NFM order, respectively. Therefore, the peaks at T N1 and T N2 show the FM and the NFM transitions, respectively.…”
