Title: Investigation of a Structural Phase Transition and Magnetic Structure of Na2BaFe(VO4)2: A Triangular Magnetic Lattice with a Ferromagnetic Ground State

Abstract

The structural and magnetic properties of a glaserite-type Na2BaFe(VO4)2 compound, featuring a triangular magnetic lattice of Fe2+ (S = 2), are reported. Temperature dependent X-ray single crystal studies indicate that at room temperature the system adopts a trigonal P$$\bar{3}$$m1 structure and undergoes a structural phase transition to a C2/c monoclinic phase slightly below room temperature (Ts = 288 K). This structural transition involves a tilting of Fe–O–V bond angles and strongly influences the magnetic correlation within the Fe triangular lattice. The magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal a ferromagnetic transition near 7 K. Single crystal neutron diffraction confirms the structural distortion and the ferromagnetic spin ordering in Na2BaFe(VO4)2. The magnetic structure of the ordered state is modeled in the magnetic space group C2'/c' that implies a ferromagnetic order of the a and c moment components and antiferromagnetic arrangement for the b components. Altogether, the Fe magnetic moments form ferromagnetic layers that are stacked along the c-axis, where the spins point along one of the (111) facets of the FeO6 octahedron.
