The magnetic structure of the mixed antiferromagnet NdMn0.8Fe0.2O3 was resolved. Neutron powder diffraction data definitively resolve the Mn-sublattice with a magnetic propagation vector k = (000) and with the magnetic structure (Ax, Fy, Gz) for 1.6 K < T < TN (≈ 59 K). The Nd-sublattice has a (0, fy, 0) contribution in the same temperature interval. The Mn sublattice undergoes a spin-reorientation transition at T1 ≈ 13 K while the Nd magnetic moment abruptly increases at this temperature. Powder X-ray diffraction shows a strong magnetoelastic effect at TN but no additional structural phase transitions from 3 K to 300 K. Density functional theory calculations confirm the magnetic structure of the undoped NdMnO3 as part of our analysis. Taken together, these results show the magnetic structure of the Mn-sublattice in NdMn0.8Fe0.2O3 is a combination of the Mn and Fe parent compounds, but the magnetic ordering of the Nd sublattice spans a broader temperature interval than in case of NdMnO3 and NdFeO3. This result is a consequence of the fact that the Nd ions do not order independently, but via polarization from Mn/Fe sublattice.
