From April 2nd to April 5th, 2024, works related to the implementation of the new version of the Jagiellonian University Repository system will be carried out. It will not be possible to enter new information into the repository during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
In this paper we report studies on EuCr3(BO3)4 compound, that is a member of newly discovered family of huntite-related specimens for non-linear optics. For the first time, the uncommon temperature dependence of the EuCr3(BO3)4 lattice parameters is reported. Additionally, the magnetism of this compound is extremely interesting. Namely, a possible interplay in between potentially magnetic rare-earth ions and 3d metal stacked within quasi-1D chain that can lead to a great variety of magnetic behaviour. Indeed, in our studies we have found 3D-long range ordering with metamagnetic behaviour, while at higher temperature the magnetic chains become uncoupled.
