摘要
The frustrated magnetic structure of hexagonal RMnO3 (R = Sc, Y, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) is analyzed by optical second-harmonic (SH) spectroscopy. It is found that in all compounds the Mn3+ spins form antiferromagnetic triangles in the xy easy plane with parallel coupling between adjacent layers at z = 0 and c/2 in the unit cell (alpha -type ordering). Some earlier conclusions on the magnetic structure of RMnO3 should be revised. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
