## Abstract

We have measured the magnetic properties of a mixed valency iron phosphate. It presents an original structure with crossed chains containing Fe II and orthogonal to the longest direction of the crystallites. Microstructural investigations using electron microscopy show the presence of random nano-twinning. The ac susceptibility measurements demonstrate similarities with the kinetics of a disordered magnetic, spin-glass like, state but are shown to be essentially due to this peculiar disorder. Scaling properties are characteristics of 3D second order transition implying that this disorder at a small scale does not influence significantly long range magnetic ordering. At low temperature, a decrease of the spontaneous magnetization and an irreversible metamagnetic transition is observed, and is attributed to a canting of the spins in the iron chain.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
