Abstract
The magnetic properties of the ordered perovskite compound Ba2NdRuO6 are reported. Powder neutron diffraction measurements were performed at 100, 35 and 7 K to determine its crystal structure and magnetic properties. Refinement of the data collected at 100 K showed that this compound has monoclinic symmetry, space group P21/n with a = 5.9888(2), b = 5.9916(2), c = 8.4667(2) Å and β = 90.026(3)°, and that the structure is that of a perovskite with a 1∶1 ordered arrangement of Ru5+ and Nd3+ over the 6-coordinate sites. From the data collected at 35 and 7 K, it was found that there is a long range antiferromagnetic ordering in the Ba2NdRuO6. The magnetic structure is of type I and the magnetic moments of Nd3+ and Ru5+ ions are in the same direction in the ab plane.Keywords
