CoV2O6 single crystals grown in a closed crucible: unusual magnetic behaviors with large anisotropy and 1/3 magnetization plateau

J Am Chem Soc. 2009 Jun 10;131(22):7554-5. doi: 10.1021/ja902623b.

Abstract

Single crystals of CoV(2)O(6) were obtained in a closed crucible using a flux method. Magnetic measurements showed that this material displays a large magnetic anisotropy and a 1/3 magnetization plateau under a magnetic field applied along the c axis.
