Abstract

Neutron diffraction measurements of the Cr intercalated niobium diselenide Cr_1/3NbSe₂ together with magnetization measurements have revealed that this compound exhibits ferromagnetic ordering below T_C = 96 K unlike a chiral helimagnetic order observed in the sulfide compound Cr_1/3NbS₂. As derived from neutron diffraction data, the Cr magnetic moments μ_Cr = 2.83 ± 0.03 μ_B in Cr_1/3NbSe₂ are aligned within basal plane. The discrepancy in the magnetic states of Cr_1/3NbS₂ and Cr_1/3NbSe₂ is ascribed to the difference in the preferential site occupation of Cr ions in crystal lattices. In Cr_1/3NbSe₂, the Cr ions are predominantly distributed over 2b Wyckoff site, which determines a centrosymmetric character of the crystal structure unlike Cr_1/3NbS₂, where the Cr ions are mainly located in 2c position and the crystal structure is non-centrosymmetric.
