abstract = {Multiferroic, CoCr2O4 bulk material undergoes successive
magnetic transitions such as a paramagnetic to collinear and
non-collinear ferrimagnetic state at the Curie temperature
(T C) and spiral ordering temperature (T S) respectively and
finally to a lock-in-transition temperature (T l). In this
paper, the rich sequence of magnetic transitions in CoCr2O4
after mixing the octahedral site with $10\%$ of iron are
investigated by varying the size of the particle from 10 to
50 nm. With the increasing size, while the T C increases
from 110 to 119 K which is higher than the T C (95 K) of
pure CoCr2O4, the T S remains unaffected. In addition, a
compensation of magnetization at 34 K and a lock-in
transition at 10 K are also monitored in 50 nm particles.
Further, we have examined the magnetic-ordering temperatures
through neutron scattering using a polarized neutron beam
along three orthogonal directions after separating the
magnetic scattering from nuclear-coherent and
spin-incoherent contributions. While a sharp long-range
ferrimagnetic ordering down to 110 K and a short-range
spiral ordering down to 50 K are obtained in 50 nm
particles, in 10 nm particles, the para to ferrimagnetic
transition is found to be continuous and spiral ordering is
diffused in nature. Frequency-dependent ac susceptibility
(χ) data fitted with different phenomenological models such
as the Neel–Arrhenius, Vogel–Fulcher and power law,
while ruling out the canonical spin-glass, cluster-glass and
interacting superparamagnetism, reveal that both particles
show spin-glass behavior with a higher relaxation time in 10
nm particles than in 50 nm. The smaller spin flip time in 50
nm particles confirms that spin dynamics does not slow down
on approaching the glass transition temperature (T g).},
