This study presents
the strikingly distinct magnetic properties
of two isostructural compounds, Ba0.8La1.2MnO4.1 and Sr0.8La1.2MnO4.1 (K2NiF4type, I4/mmm). Spectroscopic studies have shown that Mn is in a +3.0(1) oxidation
state only, in both compounds; therefore, the charge is balanced by
accommodating extra oxygen at interstitial sites, as confirmed by
neutron powder diffraction. We found that the Ba compound exhibits
an exceedingly rare anisotropic spin glass behavior, Tg = 26.4(4) K, with the moment freezing along the c-axis only while the in-plane spin components remain dynamic
well below Tg. Experimental results including
neutron diffraction, heat capacity, and magnetic (dc and ac) measurements
performed on an oriented single crystal support this conclusion. This
is a remarkable result, the only other known example of an anisotropic
spin glass being Fe2TiO5. The spin glass state
in Ba0.8La1.2MnO4.1 is argued to
arise due to competing antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic 180°
Mn3+–O–Mn3+ superexchange interactions.
In contrast, the Sr analogue shows 2D antiferromagnetic correlations
and long-range antiferromagnetic order below 95(1) K with a remarkably
reduced ordered moment of 1.449(49) μB/Mn3+ instead of the ∼4 μB expected for an S = 2 ion.
