We present the ac and dc magnetization behavior of the single crystals in comparison with that of the polycrystalline form reported earlier. There is a distinct evidence for at least two magnetic transitions, at 5 K (T 1) and 19 K (T 2), with different relative magnitudes in the single and polycrystals. The low temperature magnetic relaxation behavior of both the forms is found to be widely different, exhibiting unexpected time dependence.

We report the results of AC and DC magnetization (1.8-300 K) measurements on the solid solution, ... more We report the results of AC and DC magnetization (1.8-300 K) measurements on the solid solution, Sr 3 Cu 1Àx Zn x IrO 6 ; forming in pseudo-one-dimensional K 4 CdCl 6-derived structure. Our results establish that the Cu end member is not a ferromagnet in zero magnetic field in sharp contrast to the belief in the literature, but appears to be a system in which both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions compete; however, an application of a magnetic field of 1 kOe stabilizes the ferromagnetic state. The Zn-end member is an antiferromagnet below 19 K: Small substitutions at the Cu or Zn site significantly depress magnetic ordering temperature.

We report the results of neutron powder diffraction studies on the spin-chain compound Ca3CoRhO6 ... more We report the results of neutron powder diffraction studies on the spin-chain compound Ca3CoRhO6 in the temperature range 3 to 293 K. Bragg peaks due to magnetic ordering start appearing below about 100 K. The most interesting observation is that there is a diffuse magnetic peak superimposed over the strongest magnetic Bragg peak. The diffuse magnetic intensity is observed below as well above 100 K. This finding provides a new insight into the physics of this compound as though the low-dimensional magnetic interaction coexists with long range magnetic order-a novel situation among quasi one-dimensional oxides.
