Abstract
Single crystals of the linear chain phase Nd2BaNiO5+delta [delta = 0.0 05(1)] have been prepared and the magnetism studied by neutron scatter ing. The Ni-O chain direction is along the short axis a. Long-range an tiferromagnetic order sets in below T(N) = 48 K with Nd and Ni moments parallel to [001]. The Nd2BaNiO5 magnetic cell is doubled along a and c relative to the chemical unit cell. The magnitude of the moments at 4.9 K is 2.7(2) and 1.2(1)mu(B) for Nd and Ni, respectively.
