YCa3(CrO)3(BO3)4: a Cr3+ kagomé lattice compound showing no magnetic order down to 2 K
Published 2016We report a new gaudefroyite-type compound YCa3(CrO)3(BO3)4, in which Cr3+ ions (3d3, S = 3/2) form an undistorted kagomé lattice. Using a flux agent, the synthesis was significantly accelerated with the typical calcining ...Open AccessArticle -
Direct observation of pressure-driven valence electron transfer in Ba3BiRu2O9, Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba4BiIr3O12
Published 2016The hexagonal perovskites Ba3BiIr2O9, Ba3BiRu2O9 and Ba4BiIr3O12 all undergo pressure-induced 1% volume collapses above 5 GPa. These first-order transitions have been ascribed to internal transfer of valence electrons ...Open AccessArticle -
Magnetic Structure and Properties of the Rechargeable Battery Insertion Compound Na2FePO4F
Published 2014The magnetic structure and properties of sodium iron fluorophosphate Na2FePO4F (s.g. Pbcn), a cathode material for rechargeable batteries, were studied using magnetometry and neutron powder diffraction. The material, which ...Open AccessArticle -
Zig-zag magnetic ordering in honeycomb-layered Na3Co2SbO6
Published 2016Na3Co2SbO6 is a layered oxide with a hexagonal O3-type structure, in which CdI2- type edge-sharing MO6 octahedral layers are intercalated by Na. The MO6 octahedral layer in turn adopts a honeycomb ordering pattern of ...Open AccessArticle -
Single Crystal and Magnetic Structures of maricite-type AgMnVO4
Published 2015Single crystals of the ternary manganese vanadate AgMnVO4, were grown using AgVO3 flux. The structure was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The magnetic structure and properties of AgMnVO4 were ...Open AccessArticle
