Maps of magnetic peaks in reciprocal space from neutron diffraction of x = 0.12 sample at (a) 6 K and (b) 165 K. c Temperature dependence of the (1,0,1) magnetic Bragg peak intensity. Refined magnetic structures in x = 0.12 crystals at (d) 6 K and (e) 60 K and (f) x = 0.3 at 6 K. Comparison of measured (Fobs) and calculated (Fcalc) integrated intensities from the refinement in the \(\psi _2 + \psi _3\) magnetically ordered phases shown in (d–f) in x = 0.12 crystals at (g) T = 6 K and (h) 60 K and (i) x = 0.3 at 6 K. The overall R values= 3.79, 3.63, and 4.04% for x = 0.12 at (g) T = 6 K, (h) 60 K, and (i) x = 0.3 at 6 K, respectively. The overall R values best fit the data for the \(\psi _2 + \psi _3\) structure compared to the \(\psi _1 + \psi _3\) structure where overall R = 4.70, 4.58, and 5.50% for x = 0.12 at (g) T = 6 K, (h) 60 K, and (i) x = 0.3 at 6 K, respectively.
