Magnetic-glass-like transition induced by kinetic arrest in ferrimagnetic Mn1.975Cr0.025Sb alloy

The magnetic glass state has been proposed and studied in the ferromagnetic (FM) compounds undergoing the first-order FM-antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition. In this work, we have unequivocally demonstrated the occurrence of magnetic-glass-like transition during the field cooling process in the ferrimagnetic (FIM) Mn1.975Cr0.025Sb alloy showing a first-order FIM-AFM transition. The magnetic, resistance and relaxation studies characterize the...
