| The effect of nonmagnetic Mg2+ and magnetic Co2+ doping in Kagome compounds was investigated using DC magnetic susceptibility. The main effect of doping is to change the crystal field parameters. It was shown that Co2+ doping increases considerably crystal field parameters in Ni3V2O8 while doping with nonmagnetic Mg2+ ions decreases considerably crystal field parameters in Co3V2O8 crystals. |
