摘要

The doubly ordered perovskites, NaYFeWO6 and NaHoFeWO6, have been synthesized by high pressure (4.5 GPa) and high temperature (1000ºC) methods. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis has confirmed that these compounds crystallize in the monoclinic structure with the space group P21. These materials exhibit distinct layer ordering of A-site cations (Na and Ln) and a common rock-salt ordering of cations (Fe, W) in B-site. Magnetic, heat capacity and dielectric data, reveal antiferromagnetic ordering of NaYFeWO6 (TN ~ 13 K), and NaHoFeWO6 (TN ~ 15 K) accompanied by a dielectric anomaly. Although pyroelectric and DC-bias current measurements were impacted by leakage currents, variations in these currents were detected near the magnetic ordering temperatures. The dependence of dielectric, pyrocurrent and DC-bias anomalies on the magnetic field suggests that these compounds exhibit multiferroic behaviour.
