The thermal dependence of the ordered magnetic moments is represented <strong>in</strong> Figure 29(b). The<br />

Mx ref<strong>in</strong>ed magnetic component is always higher than that of the Mz one. At 7.5 K, near the<br />

order<strong>in</strong>g temperature, the ratio Mx/Mz is 2.0. Below 6 K the Mz component undergoes a slight<br />

change reach<strong>in</strong>g saturation at 3.5 K. However, the Mx moment cont<strong>in</strong>uously <strong>in</strong>creases up to<br />

1.5 K (Mx/Mz = 2.5). This feature does not cause any change <strong>in</strong> the magnetic structure, but<br />

only a slight sp<strong>in</strong> reorientation at low temperature.<br />

Figure 28. Projection of the magnetic structures <strong>in</strong> the (010) plane of (a) Mo(PO 3) 3 (where dashed l<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

represents the Ia unit cell) and (b) Fe(PO 3) 3. The directions of the electronic sp<strong>in</strong>s and the fundamental<br />

unit cells <strong>in</strong> the Cc space group are shown for comparison.<br />
