Abstract
Magnetic property and specific heat of mixed valence vanadium oxide SrV6O11 were investigated. Single crystals and polycrystals were synthesized with a solid state reaction. Four-circle x-ray structural analysis discovered a structural transition at a temperature range between room temperature and 353 K. This transition corresponds to that of NaV6O11 at 245 K. Specific heat measurement of SrV6O11 was performed between 20 and 150 K and two anomalies were observed at 42 and 73 K. These anomalies are consistent with the two peaks in the temperature dependence of magnetization. Below 42 K, SrV6O11 shows metamagnetism and its critical field is about 4 T at 5 K. Its basic magnetic structure at 73 K is considered to be an antiferromagnetic state formed by the localized electron system.
