Abstract

In order to increase the possibility for technological applications of CuCrO2, there have been attempts to introduce ferromagnetic (FM) order by doping at B-site. With this aim, we present here study of polycrystalline CuCr1-xTixO2 with x=0.0, 0.05, 0.1. The samples have been prepared using solid state synthesis method and characterized for its crystal structure and magnetic properties. All the samples crystallize in the 2H delafossite structure with R-3m space group. Ti substitution causes the expansion of unit cell with increase in both the lattice constants. Antiferromagnetic ordering temperature is seen to decrease with increasing Ti. Ferromagnetic-like signature is obtained in one of the compositions at low applied magnetic field of 100 Oe.
