Magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of bulk dysprosium chromite

“…9,10 Other reports present the temperature dependent zero-field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) magnetic susceptibility data of many RCrO 3 materials. 5,6,[11][12][13][14] For RCrO 3 with large magnetic moment of the R-ion (i.e., R ¼ Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm), Neel temperatures (T N ) range from 169 K to 125 K clearly exhibiting the dependence of magnetic transition on the ionic radius of the R-ion. 9,15,16 However, in the RCrO 3 series, the isothermal magnetization loops have only been reported in HoCrO 3 and ErCrO 3 and there have been no reports on the AC magnetic behavior of these materials.…”

“…9,15,16 However, in the RCrO 3 series, the isothermal magnetization loops have only been reported in HoCrO 3 and ErCrO 3 and there have been no reports on the AC magnetic behavior of these materials. 13,14 Isothermal magnetization measurements have earlier been utilized to examine the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) at low temperatures (<70 K) in single phase multiferroic manganites, such as TbMnO 3 and DyMnO 3 . 17,18 These multiferroic manganites show promising MCE properties due to their structural and magnetic ordering transitions.…”

Using Raman and dielectric spectroscopy to elucidate the spin phonon and magnetoelectric coupling in DyCrO3 nanoplatelets

“…The spin-lattice coupling in the multiferroic materials contributes signicantly to the interplay between the electric-polarization and magnetic ordering. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] In orthochromites, the interplay between the magnetic and electric order can be understood by considering the spin-lattice coupling phenomenon. In recent years, Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful non-destructive technique to study molecular and crystal lattice vibrations.…”
