Description

Polycrystals of the postlayered perovskite Sr3-xYxCo2O6 (x = 0–0.3) are successfully synthesized under a high-pressure and high-temperature condition, followed by magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements. The magnetically ordered state of the host compound Sr3Co2O6 is quickly altered by the Y doping. The characteristic magnetization plateaus is smeared out and disappears at x = 0.3. The magnetic properties change is much faster than what was observed for the Y doped analogous compound Ca3Co2O6, reflecting a possible difference of degree of the magnetic anisotropy of the Co spins of the Ca and Sr compounds.
