摘要
A series of Co(Cr1-xMnx)(2)O-4 (0 <= x <= 0.6) ceramic samples have been synthesized by using the sol-gel method. The magnetic properties of the ceramics are experimentally studied through different protocols of dc magnetization measurements. It is found that Mn-doping continuously decreases the total magnetization for x in the range of 0 <= x <= 0.2 and the net magnetization becomes negative in the range of 0.3 <= x <= 0.5. The net magnetization reverses and becomes positive upon further increasing x to 0.6. This unusual magnetic phenomenon in the system for x = 0.3-0.5 can be called as negative magnetization. It is regarded as arising from the competition of the two magnetic sub-lattices at different crystallographic sites. For the sample x = 0.3, the magnetic switching effect near the compensation temperature T-comp has been studied, and it shows potential applications in the spintronic devices. The magnetic configuration of the sample could be changed under a high magnetic field, and the spin is reoriented at T-SR. Both positive and negative exchange bias effects are observed, which are ascribed to the pinning force of uncompensated spins on ferromagnetic moments and the magneto-structural transition, respectively.
