Abstract

The magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and spin-spin correlation functions of manganese oxide Pb3Mn7O15 are calculated by the Monte Carlo method. Two critical temperatures are determined: T 1 ≈ 20 K, above which a modulated structure along the hexagonal axis is formed, and T 2 ≈ 70 K, at which the long-range magnetic order disappears. The antiferromagnetic exchange interaction constant in a hexagonal plane is estimated to be J 1 ∼ 7 K, and the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic exchange interaction constants between hexagonal planes are calculated to be J 2 ∼ 3 K and K ∼ 50 K, respectively.
