摘要:
Single crystal of BaGd2Mn2O7 was grown by the floating zone method, and its crystal structure was determined using single crystal X-ray method. This compound has the ordered structure of tilting oxygen octahedron surrounding a central manganese ion (space group P4(2)/mnm). The lattice constants are a=0.55374(8), c=2.0618(1) nm and Z=4. The oxygen octahedron surrounding a central manganese ion is slightly distorted and mutually tilts between the neighboring oxygen octahedrons with an angle of several degrees. These single crystal data confirmed our previous results from the Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray diffraction patterns [J. Alloys Compd. 311 (2000) 69]. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
