An Investigation of the Magnetic Properties of Sm1−xTiO3forx=0.03, 0.05, and 0.10: Magnetic Structure Determination of Sm0.97TiO3by Short-Wavelength Neutron Diffraction on Single Crystals

Single crystals of Sm0.97TiO3have been prepared and their magnetic properties have been investigated. Dc magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate paramagnetic Curie–Weiss behavior above 100 K whereas two magnetic transitions are observed atTN∼52 K andTN∼40 K. Similar observations for antiferromagnetic behavior have been made for thex=0.05 compound withTN∼40 K whereas for thex=0.10 compound this behavior vanishes. The magnetic structure …
