Cationic distribution, exchange interactions, and relaxation dynamics in Zn-diluted MnCo2O4 nanostructures by Tiwari, Nidhi, Pramanik, P., Joshi, D. C., Sarkar, T., Pittala, S., Salman, O. O., Manga, M.-M., Thota, S.

“…Relaxation time τ follows the Power-Law variation with a dynamical critical exponent zν=6.17 and microscopic spin relaxation time τo=4.4×10−15s for xB=0.2 (for yA=0.1, zν=5.2 and τo=5.4×10−13s). The amplitude and peak position in χac(T) decreases with an increase in the DC bias field, which indicates that the spin-glass phase can survive in the presence of low fields forming a critical line with an exponent 2/3. …”
