Description
Summary:Powder neutron diffraction data have been used to refine the crystal and magnetic structures of the ordered perovskites Sr2LuRuO6, Ba2YRuO6, and Ba2LuRuO6. Sr2LuRuO6 is monoclinic, with space groupP21n: a = 5.7400(1), b = 5.7375(1), c = 8.1118(2)Å, β = 90.16(1)°. Ba2YRuO6 and Ba2LuRuO6 are cubic, with space groupFm3m: a = 8.3390(5) and 8.2720(4)Å, respectively. All three compounds are Type I antiferromagnets at 4.2 K with an ordered magnetic moment of ∼2 μB per Ru5+. High-temperature magnetic susceptibility data suggest that the Ru5+d-electrons in all three compounds should be regarded as itinerant rather than localized. © 1989 Academic Press, Inc.
