The model assumes the existence of uncompensated magnetic moments induced in the odd-sized segments generated along the Mn(^{2+}) chains upon dilution. These moments are further assumed to correlate ferromagnetically after removal of a cooling field. Using a (mean-field) linear-chain approximation and reasonable set of model parameters, we are able to reproduce the approximate linear temperature dependence observed for the remanent magnetization in the real compounds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-10-29T14:26:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "remanent magnetization", "dilute quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnets", "phenomenological model", "approximate linear temperature dependence", "quasi-one-dimensional dilute antiferromagnets" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
