Abstract

Three new double corundum derived compounds, Fe3-xInSnxO6, (x = 0. 0.25, 0.5) were synthesized at high pressure and temperature (6 GPa, 1400-1450 C) All the compounds order antiferromagnetically well above room temperature, TN = 608 K, 532K, and 432 K for x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, respectively. The x = 0 phase crystalizes as centrosymmetric R3c, but increasing the substitution of closed-shell d10 Sn4+ induces x = 0.25 and 0.5 to crystallize as noncentrosymmetric R3c. Microprobe measurements indicate that for x = 0.25, 0.5, the substitution of Sn4+ is not compensated for by vacancies, which implies the presence of Fe2+, as corroborated by X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray structure refinements. Neutron powder diffraction experiments on x = 0.5 indicate that, these compounds are canted A-type antiferromagnets which, like Fe2O3 and InFeO3, consist of ferromagnetic layers that stack antiferromagnetically with a single magnetic transition. Weak ferromagnetic interactions persist to very high temperatures. Temperature dependent second harmonic generation measurements on x = 0.25 and 0.5 show SHG response with ferroelectric-like hysteretic maxima that correspond with the respective magnetic transitions, which suggest coupling of the magnetic and polarization order. These new compounds provide more information on fine-tuning the electronic, magnetic and structural properties of corundum derived mutlferroics in the search for tunable high temperature magnetoelectric materials.
