Abstract

A magnetic metal-fluoride system is shown for the first time to have a high Curie temperature (≈545 K). The magnetism correlates intimately with the Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio. As the ratio increases, the weak magnetism displayed by unordered magnetic moments intensifies, and these magnetic moments align in parallel. Simultaneously, a magneto-volume effect is also shown to increase the lattice volume.
