Abstract

This work deals with structural correlation studies in Jahn–Teller (JT) systems of Cu2+ and Mn3+ in the layer perovskites A2CuCl4 and AMnF4. The aim is to explore the influence of the JT effect on the materials' properties as well as its variation with pressure. We present structural studies carried out in the layer perovskites AMnF4 by optical spectroscopy under pressure in order to explore whether pressure reduces the JT distortion or induces tilting phenomena of the JT octahedra (MnF6)3−. The influence of the JT effect on the stabilization of the ground-state spin, either high-spin (HS) or low-spin (LS), in Mn3+ is analyzed. This knowledge is important to understand and, eventually predict, magnetic, electrical and optical properties in connection with HS–LS phenomena. The results are compared with previous structural studies performed in the (CuCl6)4− JT octahedra formed in A2CuCl4.
