Abstract
Magnetization curves taken in zero-field-cooling and field-cooling regimes on pure CuO and Zn-doped CuO samples demonstrate thermal irreversibility. F or the Zn-doped sample, this is present above the Neel temperature (T-N) an d is reinforced below T-N Hysteresis is related to inherent frustration of the magnetic structure of CuO.
