Abstract

The A-site-ordered perovskite CaCu3Ge4O12 synthesized under high pressure undergoes ferromagnetic spin ordering below Tc 12 K. The critical exponents have been determined from isotherms of magnetization across Tc via an iteration process and the Kouvel-Fisher method as well as from specific heat. Based on fitting parameters of Tc, β, and γ, the magnetization data in the vicinity of Tc can be scaled onto two universal curves in the plot of M/||β vs H/||β+γ, where= T/Tc-1. Critical exponents α, β, and γ obtained indicate that CaCu3Ge 4O12 is a three-dimensional coupled Ising ferromagnet with a small coercivity.
