Description:

A phenomenon of magnetization reversal in response to an applied magnetic field is very common and forms the basis of magnetic memories. In contrast, a phenomenon of magnetization reversal in response to a temperature change is rarer. In this work, we demonstrated a pronounced negative magnetization effect (NME) during field-cooled measurements in small magnetic fields in members of the A-site columnar-ordered quadruple perovskites, Ce2MnM(Mn2Sb2)O12 with M = Mn and Zn, which were prepared by a high-pressure, high-temperature method at about 6 GPa and about 1600 K. Their crystal structures at room temperature were investigated with synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data. Both compounds crystallize in space group P42/n (No. 86) with full rock-salt ordering of Mn and Sb at the B sites. Lattice parameters are a = 7.84545(1) Å and c = 7.95529(2) Å for M = Mn and a = 7.81270(1) Å and c = 7.94100(1) Å for M = Zn. The bond-valence sum analysis and the charge balance suggest that cerium is present in the oxidation state of +3. They show one magnetic transition at TC = 52 K with the compensation point near 20 K for M = Mn, and at TC = 34 K with the compensation point near 29 K for M = Zn. A robust, intrinsic NME was also observed on zero-field-cooled curves when measured in small magnetic fields. The NME could originate from their ferrimagnetic structures.
