Single-phase polycrystalline spin-frustrated spinel oxides Co1−xMnxAl2O4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) have been prepared to investigate the optical and magnetic properties. Linear variation of the lattice parameter along with the characteristic hyperfine electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal establish the fact that the Mn2+ ions are incorporated at Co2+ sites of the CoAl2O4 lattice. Optical absorption spectra reveal three absorption features in wavelength regions: 250–400 nm, 500–700 nm and 1000–1700 nm. The optical band gap associated with the d–d transition increases from 1.84 eV to 1.88 eV with 30% Mn substitution. Temperature dependent magnetization measurements indicate a clear transformation of the magnetic ground state from the collinear antiferromagnetic state (for x = 0) to the spin-glass-like state (for x = 0.1) to the cluster-glass-like state (for x = 0.2 and 0.3) with the increase of Mn concentration. In addition, our time dependent isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) study further fortifies the above transformation of the magnetic ground state. The value of the magnetic frustration parameter moderately decreases with Mn substitution, but the compositional variation is not monotonous.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
