Abstract: | Ba4NbMn3O12 is reported, synthesized by a solid state method in air. The crystal structure, determined by performing refinements on room temperature powder x-ray diffraction data by the Rietveld method, consists of Mn3O12 trimers in the configuration of three face-sharing MnO6 octahedra, with the trimers arranged in triangular planes. An effective moment of 4.82 μB/f.u is observed and competing antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interactions between Mn ions are inferred from the Weiss temperature of −4 K and the ferrimagnetic ordering transition of approximately 42 K. Ba4NbMn3O12 is a semiconductor with a transport activation energy of 0.37 eV. |
