Abstract
Structural and magnetic properties of the Li layered oxide, LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2, have been studied by means of x-ray diffraction, dc magnetization, ac linear, and nonlinear susceptibility as well as by magnetic aging and temperature cycling experiments. A percolating spin system interacting via antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic superexchange interactions of different strength induce a ferrimagnetic quasilong-range order with a transition temperature Tc≈70 K, a Weiss temperature of −25 K and an effective magnetic moment of 2.07 μB. On cooling below Tc the two-dimensional (2D) triangular lattice built up of edge-sharing metal oxide octahedras first exhibits a 2D spin glass like behavior followed by complete spin frustration in three dimensions below 30 K. The findings correlate well with expectations for a ferrimagnetic reentrant cluster glass system as well as with predictions of the percolating cluster model.
