Magnetic properties of Cu₂MnBO₅ ludwigite in weak magnetic fields

Abstract

The results of magnetization measurements in low and ultralow (0<|H|<10 Oe) magnetic fields are presented for single-crystal Cu2MnBO5 ludwigite. An own SQUID magnetometer and AC measurement system and vibrating sample magnetometer options of PPMS were used. Magnetic properties have been investigated at different cooling modes of the sample. The features of the magnetic moment behaviour are revealed. The dissimilarity of magnetic measurement data obtained using various types of magnetometers is observed. The reasons for this are discussed.
