Abstract:The Ln3OsO7 (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd) compounds were grown as single crystals from molten hydroxide fluxes. At temperatures above 235, 330, and 430 K, respectively, the Ln3OsO7 (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd) compounds exist in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm. When they are cooled below these temperatures, the compounds undergo a structural phase transition from space group Cmcm to P2(1)nb. The structure transition results in a loss of lattice centering, a doubling of the b axis, a distortion of the vertex-shared Os-O chains, and a reduction in the coordination of one of the rare earth cations from 8-fold to 7-fold. Sm3OsO7 and Eu3OsO7 exhibit complex magnetic behavior below about 50 K, and Gd3OsO7 shows a ferromagnetic-like order at 34 K in applied fields of less than 10 kG.
