Abstract

The La2Mn2O7 − δ compound was prepared using ceramic method. The X-ray diffraction study revealed that this compound crystallized in pyrochlore oxide–type monoclinic structure with the P2/M space group. Concerning the magnetization measurements, they showed a paramagnetic (PM) behavior at high temperature and a ferromagnetic (FM) transition near 167 K. As for the magnetic measurements, they demonstrated the possible existence of a Griffiths-like phase, which was observed for the first time, to our knowledge, in a pyrochlore oxide-type A2B2O7. This originality can be due to the competition between the AFM and FM interactions of the Mn ions, induced by oxygen deficiency. The critical isotherm analyses indicated that the 3D-Heisenberg was the most acceptable model in the case of our compound.
