Abstract

Bi0.5Sr0.5)(Fe0.5Mn0.5)O3 crystallizes in a rhombohedral structure, with space group R3c, where the cations Bi3+/Sr2+ and Fe3+/Mn4+ occupy 6a and 6b sites respectively. Neutron diffraction, Mossbauer and magnetization measurements confirm long range antiferromagnetic ordering of the Fe3+ and Mn4+ moments at TN (226 K). Below TN, this oxide exhibits a cluster glass behavior and at low temperatures (~30 K) a spin glass state is observed. The complex magnetic behavior is attributed to cation disorder in the system. Magnetic properties of this oxide are compared with those of the isostructural Bi0.5La0.5Fe0.5Mn0.5O3 where both Fe and Mn ions exist in trivalent state.
