MuSR and neutron diffraction studies on the tuning of spin-glass phase in partially ordered double perovskite SrMn${}_{1-x}$W${}_x$O${}_3$

Abstract

Tunability of the partially ordered double perovskite (PODP) and coexisting spin-glass phase in SrMn1-xWxO3 (x=0.20 to 0.40) have been studied using neutron powder diffraction (NPD), muon spin relaxation (MuSR), and magnetic susceptibility (X) measurements. Structural studies reveal that SrMn1-xWxO3 undergoes a quasi-continuous transformation from simple perovskite (Pm-3m) to PODP (P21/n) phase as x increases. Xdc(T) and Xac(T) measurements show a sharp cusp-like peak at a spin glass transition, Tg. The muon relaxation rate (λ) peaks at Tg following a critical growth, given by λ=λ(0).t-w [t=(T-Tg)/Tg]. However, no long-range magnetic order is observed in NPD below Tg. These measurements confirm a tunable spin-glass freezing in SrMn1-xWxO3 with Tg monotonously decreasing with W content, which we attribute to tuning the relative concentration of the coexisting Mn-O-Mn and Mn-O-W-O-Mn anti-ferromagnetic super-exchange pathways altering the geometric frustration.
