Mustonen, O.H.J., Pughe, C.E., Walker, H.C. et al. (4 more authors) (Submitted: 2022) Neutron diffraction evidence of the 3-dimensional structure of Ba2MnTeO6 and misidentification of the triangular layers within the face-centred cubic lattice. arXiv. (Submitted)
Abstract
Ba2MnTeO6 was first characterised using X-ray diffraction and reported to show a small distortion1 from the idealised cubic perovskite which displays face-centred cubic arrangement of Mn2+. A recent report has asserted that this leads to a layered configuration of Mn2+ that serves as an example of a triangular lattice, i.e. a 2D structure containing discreet layers.2 Here we show how neutron scattering gives great confidence in establishing the crystal structure being an undistorted cubic phase and how this can be mis-assigned as a triangular layered structure. This has profound implications for the understanding of the magnetic properties of the system.
