Abstract

In this work, we report the synthesis of a new ternary intermetallic compound, Nd2Ni0.94Si2.94, that forms in single phase only in a defect crystal structure. The compound exhibits an antiferromagnetic transition below 7.2 K (TN) followed by a spin cluster freezing behaviour below 2.85 K (Tf), which makes the compound a reentrant spin cluster glass system. The detailed studies of dc and ac magnetization, heat capacity, non-equilibrium dynamical behaviour, viz., aging effect, temperature and field dependent magnetic relaxation and magnetic memory effect establish the compound to be a cluster-glass material below freezing temperature. The interplay between competing exchange coupling (c/a ≃ 1.04 ⇒ JNN ≃ JNNN) and chemical disorder driven variation in the electronic environment among the Nd ions has been argued to be responsible for such a metastable state formation. A considerable value of MCE parameters (−ΔSmaxM ∼ 11.4 J kg−1 K−1, RCP ∼ 160 J kg−1 and ΔTad ∼ 5.2 K for a field change of 70 kOe) is obtained for this magnetically frustrated glassy compound.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
