Structural and magnetic investigations on a wet chemically synthesized nanoscale S = 1/2 spin chain compound – CuSe₂O₅

Abstract

Observation of an enhanced Curie tail in the low temperature susceptibility indicates the presence of uncompensated spins at the ends of the CuSe₂O₅nanorods. The enhanced curie tail also contributes towards the shift in susceptibility hump of CuSe₂O₅nanorods to ∼75 K (from ∼101 K for single crystal).
