Unconventional critical behaviour in weak ferromagnets Fe2-xMnxCrAl (0 ≤ x < 1)

Abstract Recent investigation on weak ferromagnets Fe2-xMnxCrAl (0 ≤ x < 1) reveal the existence of a cluster glass phase (CGP) and a Griffiths-like phase (GP) below and above the ferromagnetic transition temperature (T C), respectively [(2019) Sci. Rep. 9 15888]. In this work, the influence of t...
