Abstract: | The presented compound, Sr2TaMnO6, has a weak, disordered magnetic structure. The metal oxide was prepared under high isostatic oxygen pressure. The doubling of the perovskite structure was proven with electron diffraction and powder neutron diffraction. Combining neutron- and X-ray diffraction data, the room-temperature structure was modelled with the Rietveld method. Both octahedral positions are partially occupied by Mn and Ta, but with different Mn/Ta ratios. AC- and DC-magnetic measurements indicate a magnetic transition at about 17 K and the AC-magnetic susceptibility, both real and imaginary part, is frequency dependent, suggesting that the material has a spin-glass feature. The magnetic spins freeze during a wide temperature range and a possible explanation is a competative situation between the double exchange (ferromagnetism) and the super-exchange (anti-ferromagnetism). |
