Abstract

The Raman spectroscopy and AC and DC magnetization of Dy2x_{2-x}Eux_xTi2_2O7_7 have been investigated. In Raman Spectroscopy, the systematic shift in all phonon modes with Eu content in Dy2x_{2-x}Eux_xTi2_2O7_7 confirms that Dy3+^{3+} ion is substituted by Eu3+ ions. High concentration of Eu induces the dipolar exchange interactions and crystal-field interactions in Dy2x_{2-x}Eux_xTi2_2O7_7. Rich Eu content samples (x=1.8 and 1.9) show the existence of wasp-waisted hysteresis loop and that can be attributed to the coexistence of dipolar field and anisotropy exchange interaction. AC susceptibility shows two single ion spin freezing transitions corresponding to Dy3+^{3+} and Eu3+^{3+} ions respectively in x = 1.5, 1.8, 1.9 samples.
