Abstract

A new double perovskite Mn₂MnTeO₆ has been obtained by high pressure phase transformation of a corundum-related precursor. It is antiferromagnetic below 36 K and develops a magnetic structure with magnetic moments of 4.8 μ_B and 3.8 μ_B for Mn²⁺ at the A and B sites respectively. This new polymorph accounts for a recently reported decrease in the bandgap of Mn₃TeO₆ under pressure that may lead to useful light-harvesting properties.
