Item Diluted magnetism in Mn-doped SrZnO2 single crystals(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2013) Rahman, M.R.; Koteswararao, B.; Huang, S.H.; Kim, K.; Chou, F.C.We have investigated the magnetic properties of Mn- and Cu-substituted SrZnO2 single crystals (SrZn1-xMnxO2 and SrZn1-xCuxO2). We observed signatures of weak ferromagnetism as a sharp increase of magnetic susceptibility below 5 K even in the low-percentage (x = 0.01) of Mn-substituted single crystals. Magnetic susceptibility data measured parallel or perpendicular to the ab-plane yield anisotropic behavior with Curie-Weiss temperature of about -320 K and -410 K, respectively, suggesting the presence of strong antiferromagnetic couplings among Mn at high temperatures, similar to the Mn-doped ZnO and Fe-doped BaTiO3. In contrast, the SrZn0.99Cu0.01O 2 crystal shows paramagnetic behavior down to 2 K. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
