Abstract

We report the magnetic characterization of the Cr-doped layered dichalcogenide TiSe₂. The temperature dependent magnetic susceptibilities are typical of those seen in geometrically frustrated insulating antiferromagnets. The Cr moment is close to the spin-only value, and the Curie-Weiss temperatures (θ_cw) are between -90 and -230 K. Freezing of the spin system, which is glassy, characterized by peaks in the ac and dc susceptibility and specific heat, does not occur until below T/θ_cw = 0.05. The CDW transition seen in the resistivity for pure TiSe₂ is still present for 3% Cr substitution but is absent by 10% substitution, above which the materials are metallic and p-type. Structural refinements, magnetic characterization, and chemical considerations indicate that the materials are of the type Ti_1-xCr_xSe_2-x/2 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6.
