The magnetic properties are reported for three members of the glaserite series of compounds, Na2BaM(VO4)2, M = Mn, Mn0.6Co0.4, and Co. Large single crystals are grown using a high-temperature hydrothermal synthesis method. This structure type exhibits a triangular magnetic lattice in which M2+O6octahedra are interconnected with nonmagnetic (VO4)3–groups. All the structures crystallize at room temperature with rigid trigonal symmetry (space groupP3̅m1); however, at lower temperatures both Na2BaMn(VO4)2and Na2BaMn0.6Co0.4(VO4)2undergo a structural transition to lower symmetry (monoclinic,C2/c). The bulk magnetic measurements indicate that Mn- and Co-structures are antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic, respectively. Na2BaMn0.6Co0.4(VO4)2does not show any long-range ordering down to 0.5 K, although a broad heat capacity anomaly near 1.2 K suggests short-range magnetic order or freezing into a spin-glass-like state related to the chemical disorder and resulting competing magnetic interactions. The magnetic structures of Na2BaMn(VO4)2and Na2BaCo(VO4)2were determined using neutron powder diffraction. At zero magnetic field, Na2BaMn(VO4)2possesses an antiferromagnetic structure with the moments ordered in a Néel-type arrangement and aligned along the C4axis of the octahedra. Under applied magnetic field at 0.3 K, the evolution of the magnetic structure toward a fully polarized state is observed. Na2BaCo(VO4)2represents a ferromagnetic (FM) magnetic structure with Co moments aligned parallel to thec-axis direction. The relationships between these structures and magnetic properties are discussed.
