Counterrotating magnetic order in the honeycomb layers of
Abstract
In this paper we report the magnetic structure and electronic properties of the honeycomb antiferromagnet NaNi2BiO5.66. We find magnetic order with moments along the c axis for temperatures below $$T_{c1}$$ = 6.3(1)K and then in the honeycomb plane for $$T < T_{c2}$$ = 4.8(1) K with a counterrotating pattern and an ordering wave vector q = (1/3, 1/3, 0.15(1)). Density functional theory and electron spin resonance indicate this is high-spin Ni3+ magnetism near a high to low spin transition. The ordering wave vector, in-plane magnetic correlations, missing entropy, spin state, and superexchange pathways are all consistent with bond-dependent Kitaev-Γ-Heisenberg exchange interactions in NaNi2BiO6–δ .
