I am working on Dilute magnetic semiconducting system and my sample is co-doping of Sb in Fe doped SnTe system. What kind of magnetic phase can be deduced from this plot which shows some kind of transition? I happened to refer to a work on Cr doped SnTe where the magnetization was found to be decreasing continuously with decreasing temperature.

Thank you for your reply. Will AC susceptibility measurement help in this respect?
Dear Sitara Menon,
First you have to do literature survey on your topic. You have not mentioned the field which you have applied for your sample. As per my knowledge you should try to measure the temperature range from 5 K to 900 K for temperature dependent magnetization. From ZFC and FC data you can measure TN (Neel transition temperature), Tc (curie temperature), Ts(spiral transition temperature), Tl (lock in transition temperature), Tcmp (compensation temperature) and Tsr ( spin reorientation temperature).
These articles may help you.

Usually, ZFC and FC give information for the magnetic behavior of your material. I can see the bifurcation b/w ZFC and FC. Also, there is a magnetic transition at around 120K. I am convinced with Mr. Thomas Breuer
