Abstract

We report on the first observation of a magnetic transition in multiferroic Pb5Cr3F19. The system undergoes a ferroelectric transition at T-C = 545 K and probably an antiferromagnetic transition around T-N = 11 K. Between 50 K and T-N, the system is not paramagnetic but shows the presence of correlated spin clusters, indicating a superparamagnetic or spin glass state. The observable changes of the magnetic properties ongoing through ferroelectric phase transition show a magnetoelectric coupling that may be important for new devices.
