摘要
Hg2Os2O7 has been synthesised by direct reaction of HgO, OsO4 and Os metal at 500degreesC. The product adopts the pyrochlore structure, in common with Cd2Os2O7, but exhibits a slightly larger lattice parameter at 10.245 Angstrom. The material shows a weak transition to antiferromagnetic behaviour below 88 K; the compound remains semi-metallic through this transition but with a distinct drop in resistivity again centred on 88 K. Powder neutron diffraction data, collected over the temperature range 12 K-298 K, show weak discontinuities in the structural properties at this transition. Comparisons are made with the Cd2Os2O7 and Cd2Re2O7 systems.
