Manifestation of geometric frustration on magnetic and thermodynamic properties of pyrochlores $S{m}_2{X}_2{O}_7$ (X=Ti, Zr)

Surjeet Singh, Surajit Saha, S. K. Dhar +3

We present here magnetization, specific heat and Raman studies on single-crystalline specimens of the first pyrochlore member $S{m}_{2}T{i}_2{O}_7$ of the rare-earth titanate series. Its a…
