説明:

AMn₇O₁₂ perovskites (with A = divalent elements) show complex structural and magnetic transitions including incommensurate orbital density waves and coupled/decoupled modulated spin helicity originating from charge-ordered Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ cations with the 3:1 ratio at the B perovskite sites and unusual apically compressed Jahn–Teller distortions of MnO₆ octahedra. The same Mn³⁺:Mn⁴⁺ ratio can be achieved in RCuMn₆O₁₂ compositions, where R is a trivalent rare-earth cation. Therefore, the comparison in behavior of AMn₇O₁₂ and RCuMn₆O₁₂ is of interest. In this work, the A-site-ordered quadruple perovskite NdCuMn₆O₁₂ was prepared by a high-pressure high-temperature method. Its structural properties were investigated by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction between 100 K and 350 K and laboratory powder X-ray diffraction between 5 K and 300 K. It shows a first-order structural phase transition from Im-3 symmetry (at high temperatures) to R-3 symmetry near 292 K. The structural transition is accompanied by charge (Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺) and unusual orbital (on the Jahn–Teller active Mn³⁺ cations located in MnO₆ octahedra) orders. However, no additional structural/orbital modulations were found at lower temperatures in comparison with AMn₇O₁₂. Magnetic properties were investigated by temperature- and field-dependent magnetization and specific heat measurements, where a ferrimagnetic transition was found near 120 K. In addition, low-temperature magnetic anomalies were observed near 20 K, probably originating from the Nd sublattice.
