We report the magnetic properties and magnetic structure determination for a linear-chain antiferromagnet, MnBi2Se4. The crystal structure of this material contains chains of edge-sharing MnSe6 octahedra separated by Bi atoms. The magnetic behavior is dominated by intrachain antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions, as demonstrated by the negative Weiss constant of −74 K obtained by the Curie–Weiss fit of the paramagnetic susceptibility measured along the easy-axis magnetization direction. The relative shift of adjacent chains by one-half of the chain period causes spin frustration due to interchain AFM coupling, which leads to AFM ordering at TN = 15 K. Neutron diffraction studies reveal that the AFM ordered state exhibits an incommensurate helimagnetic structure with the propagation vector k = (0, 0.356, 0). The Mn moments are arranged perpendicular to the chain propagation direction (the crystallographic b axis), and the turn angle around the helix is 128°. The magnetic properties of MnBi2Se4 are discussed in comparison to other linear-chain antiferromagnets based on ternary mixed-metal halides and chalcogenides.

The chalcogenide compound CuNbGaSe3, belonging to the system I-II-III-VI3, has been investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction and its crystal structure has been refined by the Rietveld method.This is a material of the semiconductor type, which improves the properties of a simple semiconductor like CuGaSe2 because it ads spintronic applications due to its magnetic behavior. The powder pattern was composed by 94.2% of the principal phase CuNbGaSe3 and 5.8% of the secondary phase Cu0.667NbSe2. This material crystallizes with a CuFeInSe3-type structure in the tetragonal space group P4 2c (Nº 112), unit cell parameters a = 5.6199(4) Å, c = 11.0275(2) Å, V = 348.28(4) Å3, with a normal adamantane-structure where occurs a degradation of symmetry from the chalcopyrite structure I4 2d to a related structure P4 2c.
