Strongly Correlated Electrons 2025-01-06 v1

Abstract

We report a comprehensive study of spin dynamics in the (Mo2/3Tb1/3)2AlC i-MAX compound using ac susceptibility measurements across a range of magnetic fields. Unique behaviors were observed, including spin dynamics in the kHz range between mu_0 H~0.2T-6T, indicating a non-trivial superparamagnetic state, suggesting that the compound acts as a transitional system within the i-MAX family, bridging stable spin-dynamic materials and fluctuation-dominated ones. Field- and frequency-dependent magnetic phase transitions, coupled with relaxation behaviors, reveal complex interactions between spin density waves and superparamagnetic components. These findings, corroborated by uSR studies, deepen our understanding of magnetic phase diagrams and field-induced phenomena in i-MAX systems, laying the groundwork for further exploration of their unique properties and applications.
