Tuning of Magnetic Properties of -RuCl Single Crystal by Cr Doping
-
Abstract
We study the influence of Cr doping on magnetic properties of -RuCl single crystals in detail. With increasing Cr content, the -axial lattice parameter increases gradually, implying that the Cr doping may weaken the interlayer interactions. The magnetism of RuCrCl single crystals evolves from a long-range AFM order to a possible spin-glass state with Cr doping. The appearance of a possible spin-glass state can be explained by the introduction of FM interaction by Cr ions, which competes with the AFM interaction between Ru ions. Moreover, the larger magnetic moment of Cr ion with than Ru ion with also results in a monotonic increase of the effective moment of RuCrCl single crystal. -
