Figure 2
Schematic representation of the circular model (left panels) and the elliptical model (right panels) of the modulated magnetic ordering in CaMn7O12. The slices of the hexagonal unit cell at constant and coordinates are shown. The longer and shorter arrows represent the ordered magnetic moments of Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions. The Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions with the same z coordinate are antiparallel. The directions of the magnetic moments at and (not shown) can be obtained from Table 7. The φ angle between the Mn3+ magnetic moment direction and the a axis is indicated for each layer. |
