Abstract

In this study, SrLaLiTeO6 compound was synthesized using solid-state method, and its morphology and magnetic properties were investigated for the first time. The Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction data showed that the compound crystallized in monoclinic symmetry (P21/n space group) and the formation of Li–O–Te bonds in the compound were confirmed using infrared spectroscopy. The morphological study exhibited rough grain formation on the compound. AC magnetization measurement at different frequencies in the range of 200–500 Hz showed that this compound had magnetic paramagnetic transition to spin glass (SG) as the temperature decreased from room temperature to 20 K. For the SG value, p = 0.13 was calculated at the temperature range 70–80 K, which indicates that this compound may possess cluster glass or superparamagnetic properties instead of conventional SG.
