X-ray diffraction on stoichiometric YFe2O4 single crystals. — •Thomas Müller and Manuel Angst — Jülich Centre for Neutron Science JCNS and Peter Grünberg Institut PGI, JARA-FIT, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, 52425 Jülich, Germany.

LuFe2O4−δ was long considered to be the primary example for a charge order multiferroic. YFe2O4−δ is isostructural, but the ionic radius of Y is much larger compared to Lu, leading to completely different ordering phenomena. We have grown highly stoichiometric single crystals of YFe2O4−δ by the optical floating zone method, showing for the first time 3D charge ordering in x-ray diffraction at low temperature. The phase at 200 K can be indexed using a propagation vector of (1/7 1/7 9/7) considering 6 twin components and second order. Likewise the 160 K phase can be index with q=(1/4 1/4 3/4). While cooling not only the threefold symmetry but in contrast to LuFe2O4 also the mirror plane of the room temperature R3m structure of YFe2O4−δ are lost according to symmetry-analysis.
