The Er doping of ZnCr2O4

Abstract

Magnetic Er3+ is doped into the well-studied frustrated normal spinel ZnCr2O4. Various spectroscopies are employed to prove that Er3+ successfully enters the spinel to form ZnCr2-xErxO4 for x less than 0.005. The low levels of Er3+ doping possible nonetheless have a significant effect on the frustrated magnetism and the ordering that is seen near 12 K in the undoped material.
