The hitherto unknown compound Ba 5 AlIr 2 O 11 was prepared and investigated by X-ray technique (space group D –Pnma, a = 18.8360; b = 5.7887; c = 11.1030 Å; Z = 4). Iridium has an octahedral coordination in each case two octahedra are connected by a plane. These double ...
The magnetic moments are parallel to the c axis for R = Ho or lie within the (001) plane for R = Er and Tm. The obtained magnetic structures are discussed on the basis of symmetry analysis. The rare earth magnetic moments, determined from neutron diffraction data collected at 1.6 K, ...
