Magnetic structures in substituted ferrites

Abstract

In this paper the magnetic structures of various substituted ferrites are reviewed. Attention is focused on the more usual case of a local canted state. Several systems and detailed magnetic experiments are listed and discussed. Then experimental phase diagrams (tetrahedral-octahedral iron concentrations) are established to distinguish between different magnetic regions: ferrimagnetic order, local canted state or perturbed magnetic order, spin-glass-like phase and in between intermediate regions.
