Control of magnetism by crystal chemistry in T '-phase R2Cu1-xPdxO4 (R = Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd; 0 <= x <= 0.2)

Polycrystalline samples of the T′-phases R2Cu1-xPdxO4 (R=Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd; 0≤x≤0.2) have been characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and magnetometry. Doping with diamagnetic Pd induces orthorhombic symmetry and hence weak ferromagnetism in the Sm (x≥0.1) and Eu (x≥0.05) phases, which are an...
