Abstract
The monophasic natrophilite form of NaMnPO4 was synthesized using a simple and scalable one-step hydrothermal method. The heat treatment of the natrophilite NaMnPO4 in the air resulted in the formation of the high-temperature maricite polymorph of NaMnPO4. The crystal structures of these two polymorphs were confirmed by the Rietveld refinements and Raman spectroscopy. The DSC study of the natrophilite form shows a broad exothermic peak indicative of a second-order phase transition to high-temperature maricite form. The band gaps (Eg) of 5.18(2) and 1.88(2) eV were estimated for natrophilite and maricite forms, respectively, by the UV-vis absorption studies. Magnetic studies on polycrystalline natrophilite NaMnPO4 show a complex temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility, which could be attributed to a canted antiferromagnetic behavior with the Néel’s temperature (TN) of 31 K and an anomaly temperature (T*) of 29 K. Maricite NaMnPO4 also show antiferromagnetic interaction of Mn2+ spins with TN of 18 K.
