Title: Synthesis, crystal and magnetic structure of a novel brownmillerite-type compound Ca{sub 2}Co{sub 1.6}Ga{sub 0.4}O{sub 5}

Abstract

The novel compound Ca{sub 2}Co{sub 1.6}Ga{sub 0.4}O{sub 5} with brownmillerite (BM) structure has been prepared from citrates at 950{sup o}C. The crystal structure of Ca{sub 2}Co{sub 1.6}Ga{sub 0.4}O{sub 5} was refined, from neutron powder diffraction (NPD) data, in space group Pnma, a=5.3022(6)A, b=14.884(2)A, c=5.5276(6)A, {chi}2=1.798, RF2=0.0455, Rwp=0.0378 and Rp=0.0292. On the basis of the NPD refinement the compound was found to be a G-type antiferromagnet (space group Pn'm'a) at room temperature, with the magnetic moments of cobalt atoms directed along chains of tetrahedra in the BM structure. Electron diffraction and electron microscopy studies revealed disorder in the crystallites, which can be interpreted as the presence of slabs with BM-type structure of Pnma and I2mb symmetry.
