In partially ordered magnets, order and disorder coexist in the same magnetic phase, distinct
from both spin liquids and spin solids. Here, we determine the nature of partial magnetic …

SrHo 2 O 4 is a geometrically frustrated magnet in which the magnetic Ho 3+ ions form
honeycomb layers connected through a network of zigzag chains. At low-temperature two …

Magnetization, heat capacity and direct measurements of the magnetocaloric effect show
that EuGd 2 O 4 and EuDy 2 O 4 have a remarkably large magnetocaloric effect at cryogenic …

SrEr 2 O 4 is a geometrically frustrated magnet which demonstrates rather unusual
properties at low temperatures including a coexistence of long-and short-range magnetic …

SrY 2 O 4 activated with Eu 3+, Tb 3+, Sm 3+, Ce 3+, Bi 3+ were prepared by combustion
synthesis. Prepared phosphors were characterized by photoluminescence technique. Eu 3+ …

SrYb 2 O 4 is a geometrically frustrated rare-earth magnet, which presents a variety of
interrelated magnetic phenomena. The magnetic Yb 3+ ions (J= 7/2) form potentially …

We report on single-crystal growths of the SrTb2O4 compound by a super-necking
technique with a laser-floating-zone furnace and study the stoichiometry, growth mode, and …

We describe why Ising spin chains with competing interactions in SrHo 2 O 4 segregate into
ordered and disordered ensembles at low temperatures (T). Using elastic neutron scattering …

Heat capacity measurements were used to investigate the magnetic ordering processes in
single-crystal samples of SrDy 2 O 4 in a magnetic field applied along the [010] and [001] …

A study of the magnetic properties of the frustrated rare-earth oxide SrGd 2 O 4 has been
completed using bulk property measurements of magnetization, susceptibility, and specific …
