الوصف: | Iridium-based double perovskites having mixed 3d-5d-4f magnetic sub-lattices are expected to exhibit exotic magnetic phenomenon. In this paper, we report a study of structural, magnetic and transport properties of the mixed 3d-5d-4f double perovskite Sm2CoIrO6, which crystallizes in monoclinic structure with space group P21/n and the crystal symmetry remains same throughout the measured temperature down to 15 K. High resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction revels an isostructural phase transition around 104 K. Magnetization measurements on polycrystalline samples indicate that Sm2CoIrO6 orders ferrimagnetically at TFiM = 104 K; while, a second transition is observed below 10 K due to the rare earth (Sm3+) ordering. The ferrimagnetic transition is well-understood by Neel's two-sublattice model, which is primarily ascribed to antiferromagnetic coupling between Co2+ and Ir4+ sub-lattices. Electronic transport measurement shows the insulting behaviour of Sm2CoIrO6, which follows Mott variable-range hopping conduction mechanism. However, dielectric measurements w.r.t temperature rules out the presence of magneto dielectric coupling in this compound. |
