Abstract

The Néel temperatures of Ba6Mn4MO15 (M = Cu, Zn) have been determined by neutron powder diffraction to be ∼ 6 K. In both cases, short-range magnetic coupling within the individual chains of this pseudo-1D crystal structure produces a susceptibility maximum at a temperature somewhat higher than that at which the frustrated interchain interactions establish long-range magnetic order.
