The crystal and magnetic structures of K2FeCl5.D2O and Rb2FeCl5/D2O have been determined by neutron powder diffraction. The crystal structure of K2FeCl5.D2O has been redetermined using single-crystal diffraction. All compounds crystallize with the orthorhombic space group Pnma. The magnetic structure of both deuterated compounds can be described by ferromagnetic planes perpendicular to the b axis coupled antiferromagnetically to each other. The critical behaviour of the staggered magnetization below TN=14.2 K and 10.0 K for K2FeCl5.D2O and Rb2FeCl5.D2O, respectively, can be described by a power law for reduced temperature 0.03
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
