Paul Attfield, Physical Review B 87 (13), 134402<\/a><\/p>\n The magnetic and crystal structures of the title materials have been investigated using high-resolution neutron and synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction. Ferromagnetic Ru dimers are observed in the spin-ordered ground states of all three materials, evidencing an intradimer double exchange interaction. Antiferromagnetic order between dimers breaks the degeneracy of the triangular lattice but no distortion of the B<\/span><\/span>\u2032<\/span><\/span>=<\/span>La<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> and Y structures is observed. The magnetic ordering transition temperature increases with the radius of the B<\/span><\/span>\u2032<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> cation. An anomalous 120 K structural transition in Ba<\/span>3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>NdRu<\/span>2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>O<\/span>9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> is attributed to Jahn-Teller distortion, evidenced by large-amplitude \u0393<\/span>6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> deformations of the NdO<\/span>6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> octahedra.
