Abstract
Using ac susceptibility, dc magnetization and heat-capacity measurements, we have investigated the magnetic properties of Cd0.5Cu0.5Cr2O4. Cd0.5Cu0.5Cr2O4 has an extraordinary magnetic phase including a metastable spin-glass (SG) phase at zero field, a possible phase separation scenario of AFM/FM above â¼0.5Â T field, and at intermediate fields, an apparent pseudo reentrant spin-glass (RSG) plateau is observed. These phenomena are closely correlated with the pinning effect of the Cu2+ sublattice on the frustrated lattice.
