Abstract

Mn concentration of 6H-Ba3Ti2MnO9 was adjusted slightly to deviate from stoichiometric ratios. Our structural analysis shows that the spin dimer may form with Mn concentration slightly higher than stoichiometric. The magnetic properties are explored by combining DC magnetization and X-band (9.4 GHz) electron spin resonance (ESR). DC magnetization shows the signature of combination of frustrated spin and short-range spin. ESR shows that spin dimer can be formed in BaTi0.65Mn0.35O3, while no signature of spin dimer can be found in BaTi0.69Mn0.31O3 and Ba3Ti2MnO9.
