- ItemHigh temperature magnetic ordering in the 4d perovskite SrTcO3(American Physical Society, 2011-02-07) Rodriguez, EE; Poineau, F; Llobet, A; Kennedy, BJ; Avdeev, M; Thorogood, GJ; Carter, ML; Seshadri, R; Singh, DJ; Cheetham, AKWe present evidence for possibly the highest magnetic ordering temperature in any compound without 3d transition elements. Neutron powder diffraction measurements, at both time-of-flight and constant wavelength sources, were performed on two independently prepared SrTcO3 powders. SrTcO3 adopts a distorted perovskite structure with G-type antiferromagnetic ordering and has a moment of 1.87(4)μB per Tc cation at room temperature with an extraordinarily high Néel point close to 750°C. Electronic structure calculations reveal extensive mixing between the technetium 4d states and oxygen states proximal to the Fermi level. This hybridization leads to a close relationship between magnetic ordering temperature and moment formation in SrTcO3. © 2011, American Physical Society
