Abstract
Elastic neutron scattering measurements on the hexagonal antiferromagnet CsMnBr3 showed that TN falls steeply with concentration x of the diamagnetic impurities (Mg2+), becoming zero at x = 0.14 ; the critical exponent of the magnetisation, β, increased from 0.19(1) (x = 0) to 0.34(1) (x = 0.09). The reduction of TN and increase in β on addition of induced-moment impurities (Fe2+) is less pronounced.
