Magnetic and electrical properties of R2Mo2O7 pyrochlore compounds

A combination of ac susceptibility, dc magnetization in a variety of applied fields, and electrical resistivity data is reported for five members of the R2Mo2O7 series of cubic pyrochlore structure oxides, R = Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, and Y. These measurements extend published studies on the compounds and aid in the clarification and interpretation of the magnetic and electrical transport properties. The metallic ferromagnetics, R = Nd, Sm, and Gd, …
