Neutron diffraction studies on the magnetic structure of Re2ZnIrO6
Double perovskite with 5d transition metal at the B site, namely, Re2ZnIrO6 (Re = rare earth) show complex magnetism due to the interplay between the 4f electrons and the 5d electrons with large spin-orbit coupling. The small size of Ir4+ moments and the relatively large neutron absorption of Ir, however, hinder the detailed determination of the magnetic structure. Thanks to the extremely high flux of the D20 diffractometer, we propose to study two characteristic compounds with Re = La and Re = Nd in order to reveal the nature of the magnetic ground state, especially the electronic state of the interesting Ir4+ ions. In order to fulfill all our purposes, we ask for 2 days beamtime on the D20 diffractometer.
