title: Growth and characterization of Pb₃Ni₁.₅Mn₅.₅O₁₅ single crystal.
abstract: Single crystals of the mixed valence compound Pb₃Ni₁.₅Mn₅.₅O₁₅ were successfully grown. Polarized Raman spectroscopy revealed that they belong to the point group D(3d), in accordance with single-crystal x-ray diffraction data which were refined within the trigonal space group P3c1 (No. 165), with lattice parameters a = 9.941(3) Å and c = 13.543(3) Å. Strongly anisotropic long range magnetic order is established below 65 K.
