摘要：

We report powder neutron diffraction results on the crystal and magnetic structures of the bilayer Ruddlesden-Popper phase Sr3Mn2O7-delta(delta = 0.0, 0.45) and correlate these structures with their magnetic and transport properties. The delta = 0.45 compound contains a large number of oxygen vacancies that are disordered in the MnO2 planes. As a result of this disordered vacancy structure, Sr3Mn2O6.55 is a nonmagnetic insulator. Sr3Mn2O7.0(delta = 0) is an antiferromagnetic insulator whose magnetic structure is related to that of the SrMnO3 perovskite. Comparison of this end-member compound to its doped congeners in the La2-2xSr1+2xMn2O7 series highlights the extreme sensitivity of magnetic structure to dopant concentration in these layered materials.
