A high pressure phase of MnTiO 3 II is newly synthesized at high pressures and temperatures. An equilibrium phase boundary between an atmospheric pressure phase of MnTiO 3 I and MnTiO 3 II is P (kb)= 110− 0.044 T (° C). X-ray analysis of powder specimens has revealed that the high pressure phase MnTiO 3 II has the disordered ilmenite structure with the hexagonal lattice parameters of a= 5.2051 Å, c= 13.699 Å, c a= 2.632 and V= 321.4 Å [3]. The transformation from MnTiO 3 1 to MnTiO 3 II causes an expansion of the a axis by 1.3 per cent and a contraction of the c axis by 4.1 per cent, resulting a volume decrease of 1.6 per cent. Both Mössbauer effect and paramagnetic ESR measurements suggest that MnTiO 3 II is antiferromagnetic below 24°±1° K. The magnetic susceptibility obeys the Curie-Weiss law almost down to the Néel temperature and slightly deviates from it below T N, in marked contrast with that of MnTiO 3 I. A possibility that the covalency of Mn 2+ ions plays an important role both in the magnetic interactions and the crystal stability of manganese ilmenites is suggested.
