摘要
The first member of the Ruddlesden-Popper family. Ca2MnO4, has been revisited. Coexistence of two structures has been shown from electron microscopy at room temperature and neutron diffraction data have evidenced two antiferromagnetic structures at low temperature. Two forms, with an orthorhombic Aba2 (aapproximate tobapproximate toa(p) root2 and capproximate to12 Angstrom) and a tetragonal I4(1)/cad (aapproximate toa(p)root2 and capproximate to24 Angstrom) symmetries, were found to coexist coherently within the same matrix.
