The magnetic structure of the mixed antiferromagnet NdMn_0.8Fe_0.2O₃ was resolved. Neutron powder diffraction data definitively resolve the Mn sublattice with a magnetic propagation vector k=(000) and with the magnetic structure (A_x, F_y, G_z) for 1.6 K N(≈ 59 K). The Nd sublattice has a (0, f_y, 0) contribution in the same temperature interval. The Mn sublattice undergoes a spin-reorientation transition at T₁ ≈ 13 K while the Nd magnetic moment abruptly increases at this temperature. Powder x-ray diffraction shows a strong magnetoelastic effect at T_N but no additional structural phase transitions from 3 to 300 K. Density functional theory calculations confirm the magnetic structure of the undoped NdMnO₃ as part of our analysis. Taken together, these results show that the magnetic structure of the Mn sublattice in NdMn_0.8Fe_0.2O₃ is a combination of the Mn and Fe parent compounds, but the magnetic ordering of the Nd sublattice spans a broader temperature interval than in the case of NdMnO₃ and NdFeO₃. Lastly, this result is a consequence of the fact that the Nd ions do not order independently, but via polarization from the Mn/Fe sublattice.
