Abstract

Three layered lanthanide hydroxides (LLHs), with the general formula Ln8(OH)20Cl4·nH2O (Ln = Tb (1), Ho (2), Er (3)), were prepared and magnetically characterized. These compounds were further diluted within a yttrium diamagnetic matrix, LYH:xLn, LYH:0.044Tb (1’), LYH:0.045Ho (2’), and LYH:0.065Er (3’), being the study complemented with theoretical calculations in order to understand the electronic configuration and the contributions to the slow relaxation behavior. In the pure compounds dominant 3D ferromagnetic interactions are observed, with a small magnetization hysteresis at 1.8 K for 1, while the magnetically diluted solid solutions display slow relaxation of the magnetization at low temperatures.
