Structural properties in spinel oxide Fe 1−x Mn x V 2 O 4 for x ≤ 0.4 have been studied using synchrotron powder diffraction experiments. The successive structural phase transitions similar to those observed in FeV 2 O 4 are observed for x = 0.1. Whereas, the only lattice distortion of cubic-to-tetragonal (c > a) is observed for x = 0.3 and 0.4. Furthermore, we have also measured the magnetization and heat capacity. The results indicate that the temperatures of magnetic phase transitions at ferrimagnetic and non-collinear ferrimagnetic order for x ≤ 0.2 correspond to those of structural transitions of orthorhombic and tetragonal (c > a), respectively. On the other hand, the temperatures of ferrimagnetic phase transition for x = 0.3 and 0.4 are consistent with those of structural transition of a cubic-totetragonal phase (c > a). These results are discussed in terms of orbital state of Fe 2+ and V 3+ ions considering the Jahn-Teller effects and spin-orbit coupling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
