Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • Prepared SrFe{sub 0.9}Ti{sub 0.1}O{sub 3−δ} is in nanocrystalline form. • Arrott plot shows absence of spontaneous magnetization which rules out the possibility of long range ferromagnetic order. • AC susceptibility data is evidence of cluster spin glass. • There is no magnetic Bragg's reflection. • By substituting Ti{sup 4+}, helical antiferromagetic SrFeO{sub 3} is transformed to a cluster spin glass. - Abstract: The magnetic ground state of nanocrystalline SrFe{sub 0.9}Ti{sub 0.1}O{sub 3−δ} system has been investigated from 2 K to 300 K using AC Susceptibilty (ACS), magnetization and neutron diffraction measurements. The cusp in the temperature dependent magnetization and dispersion below T{sub max} (the temperature at which the maximum susceptibility is observed) in real part of ac susceptibility with frequency is observed. Arrott plot shows the lack of M{sub S} (spontaneous magnetization) down to 2 K, and the non-occurrence of magnetic Bragg reflections below the T{sub max} in neutron diffraction measurements, indicates the absence of long range ferro and antiferromagnetic order. The frequency dependence of T{sub max} obeys Vögel–Fulcher model establishing the cluster spin glass behavior in this system.
