All samples are found to be of single phase. At 12 K, we find only ferromagnetic ordering for x < 0.30 and coexisting ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic domains for x ⩾ 0.30. Our magnetic data indicate temperature dependent ferromagnetic to paramagnetic, and likely antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic transitions. We find no evidence of spin glass or cluster glass behavior, only long-range magnetic order with a transition to antiferromagnetic behavior beginning with x = 0.30 and almost completely antiferromagnetic behavior at x = 0.50.
