Abstract

Abstract Random-mixture GICs such as stage-2 NicMn1-cCl2 GICs and stage-2 CocMn1-cCl2 GICs provide model systems for studying 2D random spin systems with spin frustration effects. The magnetic properties of these compounds have been studied by dc and ac magnetic susceptibility, and low field SQUID magnetization measurements. An irreversible effect of magnetization for stage-2 NicMni1-cCl2 GICs (0.8 ≤ c ≤ 1) and stage-2 CocNi1-cCl2 GICs (0 ≤ c ≤ 1) indicates an occurrence of cluster glass phase below a critical temperature where the spin directions of ferromagnetic clusters are frozen because of frustrated interisland interactions.
