Ba3NbFe3Si2O14: A New Multiferroic with a 2D Triangular Fe3+ Motif
Abstract
Single crystals of the new multiferroic Ba3NbFe3Si2O14 have been synthesized and characterized via X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, NMR, and electric polarization measurements. The underlying topology of the Fe 3+ spins is composed of isolated triangular units stacked in 2D layers along the c-direction of the trigonal lattice. Magnetic susceptibility experiments verify the spin state of the iron moments (S = 5/2), and large …
