摘要
Rare earth (R) molybdate pyrochlores, R2Mo2O7, are of interest as frustrated magnets. Polycrystalline samples of Lu2Mo2O7-x, prepared at 1600 degrees C display a coexistence of cubic pyrochlore phases. Rietveld fits to powder neutron diffraction data and chemical analyses show that the miscibility gap is between a stoichiometric x=0 and an oxygen-deficient x similar or equal to 0.4 phase. Lu2Mo2O7 behaves as a spin glass material, with a divergence of field cooled and zero field cooled DC magnetic susceptibilities at a spin freezing temperature T-f=16 K, that varies with frequency in AC measurements following a Vogel-Fulcher law. Lu2Mo2O6.6 is more highly frustrated spin glass and has T-f=20 K. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
