Zigzag magnetic order in a novel tellurate compound Na${}_{4-\delta }$NiTeO${}_6$ with $S$ = 1 chains

Cheng Su, Xu-Tao Zeng, Yi Li +9

Na${}_{4-\delta }$NiTeO${}_6$ is a rare example in the transition-metal tellurate family of realizing an $S$ = 1 spin-chain structure. By performing neutron powder diffraction measurements…
