Structural and magnetic studies on vanadium spinel MgV2O4

Abstract
The magnetic properties and the crystal structure of MgV2O4 and Mg(V0.85Al0.15)2O4 have been studied. Both compounds are the normal cubic spinels with highly frustrated magnetic lattice. Around T2=65 K, MgV2O4 has magnetic orders accompanied with the cubic-tetragonal transition. Below T2, the susceptibility shows complex behavior. In Mg(V0.85Al0.15)2O4, the spin-glasslike state appears. The V51-Knight shift of MgV2O4 has an anomalous temperature dependence, which is not simply related by that of the susceptibility.
