Abstract

In this study potassium birnessite was attempted to be synthesized in three different methods, the latter of which proved the most successful due to the usage of an Al2O3 crucible. Investigation was done regarding the structure and magnetic properties that could arise from magnetic frustration of a triangular lattice. Crystals of 300µm were synthesized with hexagonal structure with space group P63/mmc. The magnetic behavior observed may be explained by the dimerised chain spin gap network.
