Packing fraction related distortion of Mn$_6$C octahedra and its effect on the first order magnetic transition in Mn based antiperovskites
英文摘要:
In this paper, we attempt to understand the cause of magnetostructural transformation in Mn-based antiperovskites by calculating EXAFS at the K edges of constituent metal atoms in three antiperovskite compounds, Mn$_3$GaC, Mn$_3$SnC and Mn$_3$InC. These three compounds have very different magnetic ground states despite the similar cubic structure. Our calculations show that the distortions of Mn$_6$C octahedra, which are responsible for the first-order magnetic transition to antiferromagnetic state, depends on the packing fraction of the lattice.
