摘要
A number of magnetic and structural phase transitions in EuMn2 O-5 is observed below T-N similar or equal to 40K by neutron (1/2(0.03)). A ferroelectric transition occurs at T-N with the polar displacements of Mn3+ ions along axis a. Three-dimentional dimensional polarization analysis has shown, that magnetic moments lie in a-c plane down to T-1 similar or equal to 22K. Second structural transition, mainly due to the polar shifts of the Mn4+ ions along c, is observed at T-1. It is accompanied by a magnetic phase transition and by appearance of the b-component of spins. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
