Abstract
We present a magnetic study of the insulating perovskite LaMn 1− x Ti x O 3+ δ (0< x⩽0.2) including measurements of magnetization, susceptibility, and magnetic relaxation. The Curie temperature was found to decrease with increasing content of Ti. Two distinct magnetic transitions, irreversibility, non-exponential relaxation and aging effects confirm a reentrant spin–glass state for x=0.2. The time decay of the magnetization has an algebraic functional form for times up to 2 h. The specific heat also displays characteristic features of a spin–glass system by a linear low-temperature dependence and a broadened peak near the temperature of the reentrant transition.
