Superspin glass phase and hierarchy of interactions in multiferroic PbFe1/2Sb1/2O3: an analog of ferroelectric relaxors?
We have fabricated new perovskite multiferroic PbFeSbO3 with a high degree (up to 0.9) of chemical ordering and unexpectedly high-temperature magnetic relaxor properties, which can barely be described within concepts of conventional spin glass physics. Notably, we found that the field-temperature phase diagram of this material, in the extremely wide temperature interval, contains the de Almeida–Thouless-type critical line, which has been the subject of long debates regarding its possible experimental realization. We explain our findings by the creation, at high temperatures of not less than 250 K, of giant superspins (SSs), owing, curiously enough, to the antiferromagnetic superexchange int…
Chemical disorder and Pb207 hyperfine fields in the magnetoelectric multiferroic Pb(Fe1/2Sb1/2)O3 and its solid solution with Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3
We report on the results of magnetic susceptibility, electron paramagnetic resonance, and $^{207}\mathrm{Pb}$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of the magnetoelectric multiferroic $\mathrm{Pb}(\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}}_{1/2}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{b}}_{1/2}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (PFS) ceramic, as well as its solid solution with $\mathrm{Pb}(\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}}_{1/2}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{b}}_{1/2}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (PFN) of different degrees of the 1:1 ordering of magnetic $\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}}^{3+}$ and nonmagnetic $\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{b}}^{5+}$ ions. The ordering has been studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and NMR methods. In particular, two spectral lines, originating from the ordered and dis…
