S. Pouget et al., INFLUENCE OF DISORDER ON THE STATIC CRITICAL-BEHAVIOR IN THE FRUSTRATED FERROMAGNETIC SYSTEM CDCR2(1-X)IN2XS4, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 140, 1995, pp. 1531-1532
We present a study of the static critical properties of CdCr2(1-x)In2x
S4 type frustrated ferromagnetic compounds. It was performed by means
of both Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Neutron Diffraction techniq
ues, which respectively allowed us to investigate the temperature depe
ndence of the magnetization fluctuations in the paramagnetic phase, an
d of the order parameter close to but below the critical point. For T>
T-c, the deduced values of the static critical exponents gamma and nu
appeared to be strongly increased by dilution. Surprisingly, the magn
etization exponent beta seems to be disorder independent, remaining at
a value which is close to the 3D-Heisenberg result.
