Magnetic Properties of $(Cu_{x}Mn_{1-x})_3[Cr(CN)_6]_2$ · $zH_2O$ Complexes

Magnetization measurements were performed on the $(Cu_{x}Mn_{1-x})_3[Cr(CN)_6]_2$ · $zH_2O$ molecule-based magnets where x=0.0, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0. Both the Curie temperature and saturated magnetization at first decrease with increasing value of x reaching the minimal value of $T_{C}$ = 49.7 K and 0.17 $μ_{B}$ for x=0.2 and then increase with substitution. The pronounced hysteretic behavior between zero-field cooled and field cooled regimes was observed for all samples. Magnetization changes the sign of magnetic polarization in zero-field cooled magnetization curve at the compensation temperature $T_\text{comp}$ = 16 K for sample with x = 0.4. Our results indicate that the system behaves as mixed-ferri-ferromagnetic system.
