Hopkinson-Like Effect in Single-Crystalline $CdCr_2Se_4$ and $Cd[Cr_{1.89}Ti_{0.08}]Se_4$

The static (dc) and dynamic (ac) magnetic measurements of $CdCr_2Se_4$ and $Cd[Cr_{1.89}Ti_{0.08}]Se_4$ showed their ferromagnetic properties with a Curie temperature $T_{C}$ ≈ 130 K and revealed on the real component of ac susceptibility curve, the peaks near $T_{C}$ at 200 Oe, 450 Oe and 1 kOe, characteristic for the Hopkinson ones. The meaningful reduction of saturation moment to 4.73 $μ_{B}$/f.u. for $Cd[Cr_{1.89}Ti_{0.08}]Se_4$ suggests the diamagnetic configuration of Ti ions, which dilutes the ferromagnetic sublattice of Cr ones and causes reducing of the energy losses visible on the imaginary components of ac susceptibility curve. Close for zero values of higher susceptibility harmonics above $T_{C}$ are pointing out to the lack of the spin fluctuations in the paramagnetic state.
