Abstract

H T diagram of 3D diluted Ising antiferromagnet NicMg 1 c(OH)2 with c = 0.8 has been determined from measurements of SQUID DC magnetization and AC magnetic susceptibility. At H = 0, this compound undergoes two magnetic phase transitions: an antiferromagnetic (AF) transition at the Néel temperature TN (= 20.7 K) and a reentrant spin glass (RSG) transition at TRSG (≈ 6 K). The H T diagram consists of the RSG, spin glass (SG), and AF phases. These phases meet a multicritical point Pm (Hm = 42 kOe, Tm = 5.6 K). The irreversibility of susceptibility defined by δ (= XFC - XZFC) shows a negative local minimum for 10 ≤ H ≤ 35 kOe, suggesting the existence of possible glassy phase in the AF phase. A broad peak in δ and χ″ at H ≥ 20 kOe for TN(c = 0.8, H) ≤ T ≤ T N(c = 1, H = 0) (= 26.4 K) suggests the existence of the Griffiths phase.
