Novel dielectric anomalies due to spin-chains above and below Néel temperature in Ca3Co2O6

We bring out novel dielectric behavior of a spin-chain compound, Ca3Co2O6, undergoing Néel order at (TN = ) 24 K. It is found that the virgin curve in the plot of isothermal dielectric constant (ε') versus magnetic-field lies outside the ‘butterfly-shaped’ envelope curve well below TN (e.g., 2....
