Structural and magnetic properties of Mn3-xCdxTeO6 (x = 0, 1, 1.5 and 2)
  Mn3TeO6 exhibits a corundum-related A3TeO6 structure and a complex magnetic structure involving two magnetic orbits for the Mn atoms [*]. Mn3-xCdxTeO6 (x=0, 1, 1.5 and 2) ceramics were synthesized by solid state reaction and investigated using X-ray powder diffraction, electron microscopy, calorimetric and magnetic measurements. Cd2+ replaces Mn2+ cations without greatly affecting the structure of the compound. The Mn and Cd cations were found to be randomly distributed over the A-site. Magnetization measurements indicated that the samples order antiferromagnetically at low temperature with a transition temperature that decreases with increasing Cd doping. The nuclear and magnetic structure of one specially prepared 114Cd containing sample: Mn1.5(114Cd)1.5TeO6, was studied using neutron powder diffraction over the temperature range 2 to 295 K. Mn1.5(114Cd)1.5TeO6 was found to order in an incommensurate helical magnetic structure, very similar to that of Mn3TeO6 [*]. However, with a lower transition temperature and the extension of the ordered structure confined to order 240(10) {\AA}. [*] S. A. Ivanov et al. Mater. Res. Bull. 46 (2011) 1870.
