From Layered Antiferromagnet to 3D Ferromagnet: LiMnBi-to-MnBi Magneto-Structural Transformation
Abstract
Here, the intermetallic compound LiMnBi was synthesized by the two-step solid-state reaction from the elements. The synthesis temperature of 850 K was selected based on in-situ high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction data. LiMnBi crystalizes in the layered-like PbClF structure type (a = 4.3131(7) Å, c = 7.096(1) Å at 100 K, P4/nmm space group, Z = 2). LiMnBi structure is built of the alternating [MnBi] and Li layers, as determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Magnetic properties measurements and solid-state 7Li Nuclear Magnetic Resonance data collected for polycrystalline LiMnBi samples indicate the long-range antiferromagnetic ordering of Mn sublattice at ~340 K, with no superconductivity down to 5 K detected. LiMnBi is air- and water-sensitive. In aerobic conditions, Li can be extracted from LiMnBi structure to form Li2O/LiOH and MnBi (NiAs structure type, P63/mmc). The obtained MnBi polymorph was previously reported to be one of the strongest rare-earth-free ferromagnets, yet its bulk synthesis in powder form is cumbersome. The proposed magneto-structural transformation from ternary LiMnBi to ferromagnetic MnBi involves condensation of the MnBi4 tetrahedra upon Li deintercalation and is exclusive to LiMnBi. In contrast, ferromagnetic MnBi cannot be obtained from either isostructural NaMnBi and KMnBi, or from the structurally related CaMn2Bi2. Suchmore »

The proposed magneto-structural transformation from ternary LiMnBi to ferromagnetic MnBi involves condensation of the MnBi4 tetrahedra upon Li deintercalation and is exclusive to LiMnBi. In contrast, ferromagnetic MnBi cannot be obtained from either isostructural NaMnBi and KMnBi, or from the structurally related CaMn2Bi2. Such a distinctive transformation in the case of LiMnBi is presumed to be due to its fitting reactivity to yield MnBi and favorable interlayer distance between [MnBi] layers, while the interlayer distance in NaMnBi and KMnBi structural analogs is unfavorably long. The studies of delithiation from the layered-like LiMnBi under different chemical environments indicate that the yield of the MnBi depends on the type of solvent used and the kinetics of the reaction. A slow rate and mild reaction media lead to a high fraction of the MnBi product. The saturation magnetization of the “as-prepared” MnBi is ~50 % of the expected value of 81.3 emu/g. Overall, this study adds a missing member to the family of ternary pnictides and illustrates how soft-chemistry methods can be used to obtain “difficult-to-synthesize” compounds.},
