Effect of Samarium substitution on the structural and magnetic properties of DyCrO4
摘要
The physical characteristics of RCrO4 compounds fluctuate primarily owing to changes in rare earth elements (R). Chromium's rare valence state, “ + 5”, also influences these properties. The magnetic property of RCrO4 compounds is essential because the R and Cr+5 elements are arranged collinearly and concurrently at the same and lower transition temperatures. This property is essential for various applications, including the liquefaction of liquid hydrogen. In the present study, we explored the effect of Samarium (Sm) substitution in the DyCrO4 compound. The structural and magnetic property changes were thoroughly investigated using X-ray diffraction and refinement methods, Raman spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. The magnetic nature of the Sm0.7Dy0.6CrO4 compound displays a shift in magnetisation value when compared to SmCrO4 and DyCrO4.
