摘要：

We report the synthesis of single phase rare earth orthochromite CeCrO3 and its magnetic properties. A canted antiferromagnetic transition with thermal hysteresis at T = 260K is observed, and a magnetic compensation (zero magnetization) near 133K is attributed to the antiparallel coupling between Ce3+ and Cr3+ moments. At low temperature, field induced magnetization reversal starting from 43K for H = 1.2 kOe reveals the spin flip driven by Zeeman energy between the net moments and the applied field. These findings may find potential uses in magnetic switching devices such as nonvolatile magnetic memory which facilitates two distinct states of magnetization. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
