Magnetic Properties of Composite Materials Based on a Solid Solution of Type (CuInSe2)1 – x(MeSe)x (Me = Mn, Fe) and Polyethylene

Abstract

Basic magnetic characteristics (coercive force H_c, residual magnetization M_r, magnetization M, and saturation magnetization M_s) of solid solutions of type (CuInSe₂)_1–x(MeSe)_x (Me = Mn, Fe) have been investigated in a wide temperature interval (100–300 K). The existence of a magnetic phase transition has been established for all studied solid solutions at low temperatures, and the Néel temperatures have been determined from the temperature dependences of the magnetization. It is shown that the temperature dependences of coercive force H_c and of magnetization M can be described using the thermal relaxation (fluctuation) theory.
