Unconventional metallic magnetism in LaCrSb3.
Neutron-diffraction measurements in LaCrSb3 show a coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic sublattices below T(C)=126 K, with ordered moments of 1.65(4) and 0.49(4)mu(B)/formula unit, respectively (T=10 K), and a spin-reorientation transition at approximately 95 K. No clear peak or step was observed in the specific heat at T(C). Coexisting localized and itinerant spins are suggested.
