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.

Arrays of ordered segmented nanowires are considered as a promising material for three-dimensional information storage systems. However, the presence of a large number of competing interactions significantly complicates the description of the magnetic behavior of such systems. In this work, the influence of the length of the nickel segment on the integral magnetic properties of the array is investigated. In particular, it is shown that the change in the direction of the easy axis of magnetization occurs when the segment length to diameter ratio is in the range from 10 to 20.

The crystal structure of the new compound CuSb6O8(SO4)2 is made up of charge neutral layers with long antimony oxygen distances present in between the layers. CuSb6O8(SO4)2 constitutes a linear chain S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (J ∼ 2.8 K) which undergoes long-range antiferromagnetic ordering at 0.69 K.

The synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic properties of three new mononuclear complexes [Fe(R-LA)(L1)](BPh4), where R-LA2− is a doubly deprotonated pentadentate Schiff base ligand and L1 is a monodentate benzimidazole or furopyridine ligand, are reported. Ligand- and anion-driven changes in crystal structures and magnetic behavior were investigated in terms of the magnetic susceptibility measurements and theoretical calculations.
