Competing antiferromagnetic orders in the double perovskite Mn2MnReO6 (Mn3ReO6)

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Apr 25;52(32):5558-60. doi: 10.1039/c6cc01290f.

Abstract

The new double perovskite Mn2MnReO6 has been synthesised at high pressure. Mn(2+) and Re(6+) spins order antiferromagnetically through two successive transitions that are coupled by magnetoelastic effects, as order of the Mn spins at 109 K leads to lattice distortions that reduce frustration prompting Re order at 99 K.
