Abstract
The $(LaS)_xCrS_2(x \approx 1.20$) of the incommensurate misfit layer was systhesized from reactant mixture of$La_S_3$,Cr and S at 1273K. Powder X-ray diffration of $(LaS)_xCrS_2(x \approx 1.20$) was indexed as a complex structure consisted with a monoclinic LaS-sublattice, a triclinic $CrS_{2}$-sublattice and their superlattice. The temperature dependence of sublattice dimension was investigated by the X-ray diffraction analysis at low temperature. The magnetic susceptibility of $(LaS)_xCrS_2(x \approx 1.20$) was measured between 77K and room temperature using a Faraday balance method. $(LaS)_xCrS_2(x \approx 1.20$) was paramagnetic on a $\sigma$-H plot at room temperature. The observed effective magnetic moment( p dr) was in fair agreement with the value calculated by spin-only contribution for $Cr^{3+}$ and spin and orbital contribution for $La^{3+}$.
Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of $(LaS)_xCrS_2(x \approx 1.20$)가 1273K에서 $La_S_3$ , Cr, S의 혼합물의 반응으로부터 합성되었다. $(LaS)_xCrS_2( x\approx 1.20$)의 XRD회절 pattern은 monoclinic의 LaS-부격자, triclinic의 $CrS_{2}$-부격자와 그들의 초격자로서 해석되었다. 부격자의 온도의존성을 저온에서 X-선 회절분석으로 조사하였다. 77K~실온의 온도역에서 $(LaS)_xCrS_2(x \approx 1.20$)의 자기자화율을 Faraday balance법으로 측정하였다. $(LaS)_xCrS_2(x \approx 1.20$)은 실온 $\sigma$ -H plot에서 paramagnetic한 거동을 나타내었다. 관측된 유효자기 moment($\mu_{eff}$)는 $Cr^{3+}$을 spin-only에 의한 것과 $La^{3+}$을 spin-only와 orbital에 의한 것으로 계산할 경우 잘 일치되었다.
