Notes:
In this letter, the abnormal temperature dependence of low-field magnetization of FeCr2−xAlxS4 (0≤x≤0.7) is reported. In addition to a large irreversibility between zero-field-cooling (ZFC) and field-cooling (FC) magnetization for all samples, a cusp is also observed in both FC and ZFC curves for x≤0.2. The cusp and the irreversibility are suppressed under an applied field of 0.5 T. The study of magnetic hysteresis loop reveals that this abnormal low-field magnetic behavior is closely related to coercitivity of the system. Accordingly, the abnormal magnetic behavior is explained qualitatively by taking account of large magnetic anisotropy and domain wall pinning of nonmagnetic ions. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
