摘要

We report the appearance of magnetization jumps in the magnetic hysteresis curves of the spinel oxide FeV2O4, in which two different magnetic transition ions appeared, both of them having orbital degrees of freedom. The spin-glass-like transition was observed from ac magnetic susceptibilities and the transition temperature was estimated to be T-g=85.5 K. The magnetization jumps appear below 90 K at B=0. In addition, jumps at B= +/- 1.2 T appear below 4.6 K. The magnetization jumps at B=0 may be correlated with spin-glass-like behaviors.
