Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new pillared perovskite La5Mo2.75V1.25O16

Abstract

A new pillared perovskite compound La5Mo2.76(4)V1.25(4)O16, has been synthesized by solid-state reaction and its crystal structure has been characterized using powder X-ray and neutron diffraction. The magnetic properties of this compound have been investigated using SQUID magnetometry, and the magnetic structure has been studied using neutron diffraction data. A theoretical calculation of relative strengths of spin interactions among different …
