摘要

Using dc magnetic susceptibility, electron spin resonance (ESR) and dielectric spectroscopy techniques, we investigate the magnetic and dielectric properties of Sr7Mn4O15, which has a layered structure with pairs of face-sharing octahedra Mn2O9. Magnetic susceptibility reveals the Neel temperature T-N similar to 70.5 K, above which Sr7Mn4O15 manifests intense short range order. ESR spectra indicate the existence of a transition at about 370 K, confirming the suggested spin pairing in the Mn2O9 units. In the dielectric spectra, a sudden drop of permittivity is observed at TN, revealing the existence of strong spinlattice coupling in Sr7Mn4O15.
