Abstract
Magnetic structures of the noncentrosymmetric magnet Sr2MnSi2O7 were examined through neutron diffraction for powder and single-crystalline samples, as well as magnetometry measurements. All allowed magnetic structures for space group P421m with the magnetic wavevector qm = (0, 0, ½) were refined via irreducible representation and magnetic space group analyses. The compound was refined to have in-plane magnetic moments within the magnetic space group Cmc21.1'c (No. 36.177) under zero field, which can be altered to P212121.1'c (No. 19.28) above μ0H = 0.067 (5) T to align induced weak-ferromagnetic components within one layer on the ab plane. All refined parameters are provided following the recent framework based upon the magnetic space group, which better conveys when exchanging crystallographic information for commensurate magnetic structures.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section B: Structural Science, Crystal Engineering and Materials publishes scientific articles related to the structural science of compounds and materials in the widest sense. Knowledge of the arrangements of atoms, including their temporal variations and dependencies on temperature and pressure, is often the key to understanding physical and chemical phenomena and is crucial for the design of new materials and supramolecular devices. Acta Crystallographica B is the forum for the publication of such contributions. Scientific developments based on experimental studies as well as those based on theoretical approaches, including crystal-structure prediction, structure-property relations and the use of databases of crystal structures, are published.
