Competing Ferri- and Antiferromagnetic Phases in Geometrically Frustrated LuFe2O4
Abstract
We present a detailed study of magnetism in LuFe2O4, combining magnetization measurements with neutron and soft x-ray diffraction. The magnetic phase diagram in the vicinity of TN involves a metamagnetic transition separating an antiferro- and a ferrimagnetic phase. For both phases the spin structure is refined by neutron diffraction. Observed diffuse magnetic scattering far above TN is explained in terms of near degeneracy of the magnetic phases.
