摘要
Magnetic and transport properties of R2Mo2O7 (R = Sm, Gd and Tb) pyrochlores have been investigated using single crystal specimens grown by floating zone method. The system is found to undergo a transition from ferromagnetic metal (R = Sm and Gd) to spin-glass-like insulator (R Tb) depending on the R-ion radius. Resistivity data Of Sm2Mo2O7 under a pressure of 0.6 GPa are also presented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
