Study of Canonical Spin Glass Behavior in Co Doped LaMnO3

Temperature-dependent magnetic and a.c. susceptibility measurements were done on single phase polycrystalline LaMn1-yCoyO3 (y = 0.1, 0.4) samples. The field cooled and zero field cooled magnetic measurements performed indicate the presence of spin glass state which is established using a.c. susceptibility measurements. The a.c. susceptibility data analyzed using Arrhenius and Vogel–Fulcher (VF) law reveal the presence of canonical spin glass.
