Crystal growth, structure determination and magnetism of a new hexagonal rhodate: Ba9Rh8O24
Abstract
Single crystals of Ba9Rh8O24, grown from a molten potassium carbonate flux, crystallize in the spacegroup Rc with lattice parameters of a = 10.0899(4) and c = 41.462(2) Å. Magnetic measurements on oriented single crystals reveal the existence of magnetic anisotropy.
