Abstract

The perovskite SeCuO3 is unusual for possessing (i) a very small A-site (Se4+) radius, (ii) highly distorted Cu-O-Cu bond angles α, and (iii) a ferromagnetic (FM) ground state. Negative chemical pressure is applied by replacing Se with Te in solid solution, causing a continuous transformation between the FM state and an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state. This is the first FM-AFM transformation to be controlled by a single microscopic parameter, the in-plane α, allowing a precise determination of the crossover angle (αc=127°±0.5°) between FM and AFM superexchange.
