Evidence of kinetic arrest in Se doped CoS2

SK Mishra, R Rawat - Solid State Communications, 2016 - Elsevier
Our systematic path dependent resistivity study in H–T space shows that paramagnetic (PM)–
ferromagnetic (FM) transition in CoS 1.76 Se 0.24 is kinetically arrested. The resistivity at low
temperature depends on the path followed in H–T space and the critical field required for PM
to FM transition varies non-monotonically with temperature. Measurements under CHUF
(cooling and heating in unequal magnetic field) protocol show reentrant transition on
warming under higher magnetic field (than that applied during cooling), which indicate that …
