Abstract

Single crystals of a new silver and-cobalt based vanadate AgCo2V3O10 were grown from a melted mixture. The crystal structure determination reveals that this new vanadate crystallizes in triclinic system with space group P-1. The structure of the titled compound is constructed from CoO6octahedra and VO4 tetrahedra sharing edges and vertices leading to an open three-dimensional framework delimiting tunnels along [001], where the Ag cations are located. The bands observed in Raman spectrum were assigned to corresponding vibrations of the VO4 groups. DC and AC magnetization (susceptibility) measurements revealed the spin-glass (SG) -type transition below a frequency-independent temperature Tf(H) that is nearly independent on the applied magnetic field. Magnetic field H> 10 kOe induces the spin glass antiferromagnet. These observations brings AgCo2V3O10 into the class of geometrically frustrated magnetic systems.
