Abstract

The effect of nonmagnetic Mg2+ and magnetic Co2+ doping in Kagome staircase compounds was investigated using DC magnetic susceptibility. The main effect of doping is to change effective anisotropy of the Ni3V2O8 and Co3V2O8 crystals. It has a considerable effect on magnetic field induced phase transitions in both kinds of crystals. The doping has also an effect on the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya exchange interactions. In some cases the doping enhances this interaction while in another it suppresses it completely.
