Abstract
Magnetic susceptibility and magnetization as a function of temperature and applied field of beta-Li3CrO4 have been measured. The material is paramagnetic in the temperature range 100-15 K with an effective mome nt of 1.70 mu(B) and theta = 2.6 K. Below 15 K, ferromagnetic interact ions in the chromium sublattice are observed with a saturation magneti c moment of 0.8 mu(B) and T-c ca. 10 K. The results are explained taki ng into account the crystal structure of the oxide and the oxidation s tate of the chromium.
