摘要
X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), magnetic susceptibility and muon-spin relaxation (mu SR) measurements were carried out to investigate lattice symmetries and magnetic properties of one of alkali-metal superoxides, RbO2. Two structural transitions were observed around 170 and 100K in conjunction with the appearance of anomalies in the magnetic susceptibility. A static antiferromagnetic long-range ordered state of unpaired spins on O-2(-) dumbbells with the full magnetic volume fraction was confirmed from mu SR below about 15 K. In comparison with CsO2, it is suggested that small changes in the lattice symmetry driven by changes in the O-2(-) dumbbell orientation causes different magnetic properties in alkali-metal superoxides.
