摘要
Several different mechanisms of magnetoresistance (MR) have been observed in 1111 LnMnAsO(1-x)F(x) oxypnictides (Ln = lanthanide) as a result of magnetic coupling between the Mn and Ln. Such phases also exhibit interesting magnetic phase transitions upon cooling. Sr2Mn2CrAs2O2 has been synthesized to investigate if it is possible to observe MR and/or magnetic phase transitions as a result of magnetic coupling between the Mn and Cr. Sr2Mn2CrAs2O2 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I4/mmm containing alternating MO22- and M'As-2(2)2- layers, and neutron diffraction results demonstrate that the actual stoichiometry is Sr2Mn2.23Cr0.77As2O2. Cation order is present between Mn and Cr, with Cr predominantly occupying the square planar MO22- site. Below 410 K, the magnetic moments of the Mn/Cr ions in the M'As-2(2)2- sublattice exhibit G-type antiferromagnetic order. The Mn/Cr moments within the MO22- layer order below 167 K with a K2NiF4-type antiferromagnetic structure that simultaneously induces a spin flip of the magnetic moments in the M'As-2(2)2- layers from a G-type to a C-type antiferromagnetic arrangement. The results demonstrate that the superexchange interactions are finely balanced in Sr2Mn2.23Cr0.77As2O2. Sr2Mn2.23Cr0.77As2O2 is semiconducting, and there is no evidence of MR.
