Abstract
- ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{Re}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ is a double perovskite material where the ${\mathrm{Re}}^{5+}$ (${d}^{2}$) ions occupy a frustrated face-centered cubic lattice. Despite strong antiferromagnetic interactions between the Re ions, as indicated by a large negative Weiss constant $\ensuremath{\theta}=\ensuremath{-}616$ K, spin freezing in ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{Re}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ only occurs at 45 K. Since no long-range order of magnetic dipoles has previously been found in either muon spin rotation or neutron diffraction experiments below this temperature, it has been assumed that the low-temperature state is a spin glass. In stark contrast with these findings, we here show that ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{Re}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ does in fact order with a strongly reduced dipole moment ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{0}=0.29--0.42\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B}$ via a polarized neutron diffraction experiment on a powder sample. Using the symmetries of the two likeliest magnetic structures and the properties of the $5{d}^{2}$ configuration in the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling and strong crystal fields, we use a recently derived single-ion wave function for ${\mathrm{Re}}^{5+}$ to predict a large quadrupolar moment based on the experimental ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{o}$.
