Аннотация:The structure and magnetic properties of hexagonal tungsten bronzes AM(1/3)W(8/3)O(9) (A-K+, Rb+, Cs+; M- Cr3+, Fe3+) have been investigated. Pure ceramic samples were synthesized by solid-state reaction. The samples have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction in combination with magnetic measurements. The compounds crystallize in hexagonal space group P6(3)/mcm. The substitution of magnetic ions into the WO6 octahedra yields dilute antiferromagnetic Cr3+-O2--Cr3+(or Fe3+-O2--Fe3+) superexchange interaction causing the appearance of short-range magnetic order at low temperatures. The antiferromagnetic character of the interaction is supported by negative values of the derived Curie-Weiss temperatures, qCW. The magnitude of qCW is found to decrease with increasing ionic radius of the A cation. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
