Abstract
Low-dimensional quantum spin ½ system Cu2V2O7has been investigated in the framework of Mn-substitution at the Cu site, which is really un-investigated. The studied compounds Cu2 -xMnxV2O7(x= 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15) have been synthesized and characterized structurally, spectroscopically, local structurally and magnetically via x-ray diffraction, Raman, x-ray absorption and temperature, field dependent magnetization measurements respectively. Although Cu2V2O7can be found inα, βandγ-phase, however all of the studied compounds are found in single orthorhombicα-phase which has crucial magneto-electric application potential. Temperature dependent Raman spectra indicated anharmonic phonon-phonon scattering but there is no spin-phonon coupling for VO4vibrational modes. The local structure probed via x-ray absorption near edge structure and extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy at 15 K, 300 K indicates Cu2+, V5+and mixed valent Mn2+and Mn3+ionic states and justified local structure for the probed ions. Magnetic measurements indicate long-range antiferromagnetic ordering with doping independent Neel temperature (32.5 K). Further observations are strong magnetic hysteresis at 5 K (due to canted spin structure), zero field exchange-bias and their noteworthy enhancement upon Mn-substitution. Interesting correlation between structural parameters and magnetic exchanges has been developed.
