Abstract
Single phase samples of the monoclinic and orthorhombic polymorphs of have been identified and isolated. These polymorphs have different arrangements of nanometer dimension structural columns of -type niobium oxygen arrays: They differ in structure after a translation in one of three dimensions while being the same in the other two. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that one polymorph displays an antiferromagnetic transition at , along with short-range order fluctuations up to , while the other shows strict Curie-Weiss behavior down to .
