Title: {sup 166}Er Mössbauer spectroscopy study of magnetic ordering in a spinel-based potential spin-ice system: CdEr{sub 2}S{sub 4}

Abstract

{sup 166}Er Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements of CdEr{sub 2}S{sub 4} show a large hyperfine field (B{sub hf}) of 727.6(8) T at 5 K and clear evidence for slow paramagnetic relaxation with an energy barrier to reversal of 114(3) K. This behaviour stands in strong contrast to that of the corresponding pyrochlores (Er{sub 2}Sn{sub 2}O{sub 7} and Er{sub 2}Ti{sub 2}O{sub 7}) where no magnetic effects are seen down to 1.56 K. The clearly dynamic {sup 166}Er Mössbauer spectra and the absence of a break in the susceptibility data suggest that there is no magnetic order above 1.8 K in CdEr{sub 2}S{sub 4}.
