ABSTRACT
An AA'3B4O12-type perovskite oxide PbMn3(CrMn3)O12 was synthesized by high-pressure solid-state reactions at 8 GPa and 1373 K. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction shows a cubic crystal structure with the space group Im3Ì. The charge states are verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to be PbMn3+3(Cr3+Mn3+2Mn4+)O12, where the Pb2+ and Mn3+ are 1 : 3 ordered respectively at A and A' sites, while the Cr3+, Mn3+ and Mn4+ are disorderly distributed at the B site. PbMn3(CrMn3)O12 features a long-range antiferromagnetic order of A'-site Mn3+ spins at about 66 K and a subsequent spin glass transition around 36 K due to the randomly distributed Cr3+, Mn3+, and Mn4+ cations at the B site. This unique stepwise order of A' and B-site spins indicates weak A'-B site spin interactions, which are dominated by the difference in the B-site Mn3+/Ni2+ and Mn4+ number in the quadruple perovskites AMn3B4O12.
ABSTRACT
The In-based double perovskite halides have been widely studied for promising optical-electric applications. The halide hexagonal perovskite Cs2LiInCl6 was isolated using solid-state reactions and investigated using X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR spectra. The material adopts a 12-layered hexagonal structure (12R) consisting of layered cationic orders driven by the cationic charge difference and has Li+ cations in the terminal site and In3+ in the central site of face-shared octahedron trimers. Such a cationic ordering pattern is stabilized by electrostatic repulsions between the next-nearest neighboring cations in the trimers. The LiCl6 octahedron displays large distortion and is confirmed by 7Li SS NMR in the Cs2LiInCl6. The Cs2LiInCl6 material has a direct bandgap of ~4.98â eV. The Cs2LiInCl6: Mn2+ displays redshift luminescence (centered at ~610-622â nm) from the substituted Mn2+ emission in octahedron with larger PLQY (17.8 %-48 %) compared with that of Cs2NaInCl6: Mn2+. The Mn-doped materials show luminescent concentration quenching and thermal quenching. The composition Cs2Li0.99In0.99Mn0.02Cl6 exhibits the highest PL intensity, a maximum PLQY of 48 %, and high luminescent retention rate of ~86 % below 400â K and is suitable for application for pc-LED. These findings contribute to our understanding of the chloride perovskites and hold potential for widespread optical applications.
ABSTRACT
A 12-layer hexagonal perovskite Ba4SbMn3O12 (space group: R3Ìm; a = 5.72733(3) Å, and c = 28.1770(3) Å) has been synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reactions and studied using powder X-ray and neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements. This 12R polytype structure contains one corner-sharing (Sb, Mn)O6 octahedron and a trimer of face-sharing MnO6 octahedra per formula unit. Ba4SbMn3O12 displays a paramagnetic state of the Mn3 magnetic cluster at 100-200 K, which partially disassociates into individual Mn ions at 250-300 K. The ferromagnetic interaction between these Mn3 clusters is mainly mediated by Mn3+ at the M1 site, leading to dynamic ferromagnetic clusters below T D = â¼70 K and ferromagnetic spin freezing transition at T g = â¼11.5 K. The stability of Mn3 magnetic clusters in the 12R polytypes is related to the intracluster Mn-Mn distance.
