Structural and Magnetic Characterization of HoFe<sub>x</sub>V<sub>1-x</sub>O<sub>3</sub>
ORAL
Abstract
We investigate the synthesis, structure, and magnetic behavior of the orthoferrivanadate compound HoV1-xFexO3, a chemically doped variant of HoFeO3 which is known to have an electronic spin reorientation (SR) transition at low temperature. Our results show that the SR temperature is increased by V substitution, likely due to the V interfering with the Fe-Fe interactions.The crystal structure was obtained using X-ray diffraction, and the magnetic properties were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometry.
