Magnetic and structural properties of the solid solution CuAl2(1−x)Ga2xO4

Abstract CuAl2O4 is a ternary oxide spinel with Cu2+ ions ( $$s=1/2$$ s = 1 / 2 ) primarily populating the A-site diamond sublattice. The compound is reported to display evidence of spin glass behavior but possess a non-frozen magnetic ground state below the transition temperature. On the other hand...
