Abstract

We present a neutron powder-diffraction study of the monoclinic double perovskite systems Nd2NaBO6 (B =Ru, Os), with magnetic atoms occupying both the A and B sites of the A2BBO6 structure. Our measurements reveal coupled spin ordering between the Nd and B atoms with magnetic transition temperatures of 14.3(1) K for Nd2NaRuO6 and 16.2(2) K for Nd2NaOsO 6. There is a type-I antiferromagnetic structure associated with the Ru and Os sublattices, with the ferromagnetic planes stacked along the c axis and [110] direction respectively, while the Nd sublattices exhibit complex, canted antiferromagnetism with different spin arrangements in each system.
