Abstract
Centimetre-sized single crystals of high-quality CaBaCo2Fe2O7 were synthesized by the optical floating zone technique. The metal-to-metal stoichiometry and oxygen content were confirmed by spectroscopy and thermal reduction experiments. The hexagonal symmetry P6(3)mc (No. 186) well describes the powder X-ray and neutron diffraction as well as single-crystal neutron diffraction at all measured temperatures. This symmetry is also consistent with optical second harmonic generation data obtained between 10 and 295 K. However, a satisfactory structure description from single-crystal neutron diffraction data needs an oxygen split position. Specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and powder neutron diffraction data indicate a magnetic phase transition at T-N = 159 K to an antiferromagnetic ground state, but with a persisting hexagonal symmetry and intrinsic geometric frustration.
