Magnetic Properties of Quasi-One-Dimensional Ca$_{3}$LiRuO$_{6}$ and CaFe$_{4}$As$_{3}$
POSTER
Abstract
Needle-like Ca$_{3}$LiRuO$_{6}$ and CaFe$_{4}$As$_{3}$ single crystals were grown using the flux method. While the structure of Ca$_{3}$LiRuO$_{6}$ is characterized by one-dimensional chains of alternating face-sharing LiO$_{6}$ trigonal prisms and RuO$_{6}$ octahedra along the $c$ axis, CaFe$_{4}$As$_{3}$ consists of edge-sharing FeAs$_{4}$ tetrahedra ribbons along the $b$ axis. Despite the one-dimensional nature, magnetization measurements reveal evidence of long-range magnetic ordering: Ca$_{3}$LiRuO$_{6}$ orders ferromagnetically below T$_{\mathrm{C}} =$ 120 K and CaFe$_{4}$As$_{3}$ undergoes two successive antiferromagnetic transitions at T$_{\mathrm{N1}} =$ 90 K and T$_{\mathrm{N2}} =$ 26 K. Possible magnetic interactions will be discussed.
