Spin Structure and Na-ion Diffusion in NaCrTe2
The aim of the experiment here proposed would be to characterize the atomic structure and the spin structure of the novel compound NaCrTe2 as a function of temperature. This material has been studied by our sample provider using x-ray powder diffraction and bulk magnetic measurements, from which is evident that it has a peculiar spin structure consisting of antiferromagnetically coupled ferromagnetic layers. Moreover, NaCrTe2 could be a good candidate as a cathode material in batteries because of its atomic structure, very similar to many of the most used battery cathode materials (LiCoO2). To probe the goodness of NaCrTe2 as battery material it is necessary to study the Na-ion diffusion within the layers so, since currently the structural transitions and ion-dynamics around room-temperature in NaCrTe2 is an unexplored field, we aim to investigate this aspect too. The NaCrTe2 has, to the best of our knowledge, never been studied by neutron diffraction so we believe that further efforts should be put in this direction.
