Abstract
By using X-ray diffraction analysis, EPR and magnetic measurements, the chromium-ion distribution in xCr2O3-(1−x) [3B2O3-PbO] glasses with 0⩽x⩽35 mol% Cr2O3 was studied. EPR investigation evidenced the presence of both Cr3+ and Cr5+ ions, the latter being in small proportion, in agreement with the atomic magnetic moment values. For concentrations x⩽20 mol% Cr2O3 the isolated Cr3+ ions coexist with those coupled by super-exchange magnetic interactions, the isolated ones prevailing only for x<3 mol% Cr2O3. For x>20 mol % Cr2O3 microcrystalline precipitates were detected, giving rise to an antiferromagnetic transition with Néel temperature, N N≃310 K and paramagnetic Curie temperature, θ p=−480 K.
