Abstract

Magnetic structure in a layered perovskite manganite, La 2-2xSr1+2xMn2O7 (x = 0.307) has been investigated by neutron diffraction measurements. We found that the ground state (at 4 K) has a ferromagnetic structure with magnetic moment of Mn ions being aligned in a direction inclined by 10 degree from the c-axis. The magnetic structure changes to a canted antiferromagnetic one (CAFM-I) at about 20 K and then to another canted antiferromagnetic one (CAFM-II) at about 80 K. Here the magnetic moment lies in the ab-plane in CAFM-II but not in CAFM-I. The magnetic structure then changes to an antiferromagnetic one with magnetic moment lies in the ab-plane at about 90 K, and then to a paramagnetic one at about 100 K.
