Abstract · v1

The transition metal oxychalcogenide La2_2O2_2Fe2_2OSe2_2 exhibits a non-collinear spin-ice like antiferromagnetic ordering below TN≈T_N \approx 90 K due to complex magnetic exchange interactions and axial single-ion anisotropy of Fe2+^{2+} spins. The magnetic structure was deduced/determined from combined 57^{57}Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and 139^{139}La-NMR on polycrystalline specimen. In this work, we present zero-field 139^{139}La-NQR investigations on polycrystalline La2_2O2_2Fe2_2OSe2_2 in a broad frequency and temperature range between 2.8 - 20 MHz and 4.2 - 100 K. The measured resonances at νQν_Q, 2 νQ2 \, ν_Q, and 3 νQ3 \, ν_Q are fully consistent with the previous NMR studies and also with the magnetic structure. A substantial modification of the electric field gradient at the La-position below TNT_N is inconsistent with the current investigations.
