Magnetic properties of the intercalated compound Lu2Fe3O7

We have carried out a comprehensive investigation of the magnetic properties of the intercalated Lu2Fe3O7 by the means of dc magnetization, polarized neutron scattering, and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements. The results obtained by these techniques support a spin order in each of the Fe-O bilayers that is the same as observed in the nonintercalated LuFe2O4. In the Fe-O single layers, a magnetic moment appears to be induced by the application of a magnetic field, paramagnetic-like in the first approximation. Furthermore, a spin-charge coupling was revealed by the XMCD measurements.

Automated summary

A comprehensive investigation of the magnetic properties of intercalated Lu2Fe3O7 was carried out using dc magnetization, polarized neutron scattering, and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements. The results showed a spin order in each Fe-O bilayer similar to that in the nonintercalated LuFe2O4, with a paramagnetic-like magnetic moment induced in the Fe-O single layers by an applied magnetic field. Additionally, spin-charge coupling was revealed through XMCD measurements.
