We studied the spin-5/2 antiferromagnetic (AF) linear trimer substance SrMn{sub 3}P{sub 4}O{sub 14} using neutron powder diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) techniques. We determined the magnetic structure below T{sub N1} = 2.2(1) K. Ordered magnetic moments have x and z components. The angle between two neighboring moments in the trimer is 164 or 166 Degree-Sign at 1.5 K, indicating that the intra-trimer (J{sub 1}) interaction is AF as expected. The propagation vector is expressed as k = [0, k{sub y}, 0]. The value of k{sub y} is 0.317 at 1.5 K, indicating an incommensurate magnetic structure. The value of k{sub y} changes abruptly between 1.7 and 1.8 K and reaches values close to 0.33 above 1.8 K, indicating another phase transition at T{sub N2} = 1.75(5) K. We observed plural magnetic excitations. The peak positions are 0.46, 0.68 and 1.02 meV. Our INS results are consistent with those expected in the trimer model. We evaluated the J{sub 1} value as 0.29 meV (3.4 K).
