Abstrakt: The relationship between hyperfine interactions, local structure, and magnetism in ordered double perovskites A2NiMnO6(A = Sc, In, and Tl) is investigated by nuclear forward scattering with the 61Ni nuclear transition. Special attention is given to a quantitative determination of on-site and transferred hyperfine fields on the 61Ni nuclei. The anomalous small value of the saturated hyperfine magnetic field Hhf(0) in antiferromagnetic Sc2NiMnO6is explained by spin-orbital coupling and strong Ni-3d and O-2p hybridization. The temperature evolution of Hhf(T) is reproduced with Néel temperature TN1≈ 37 K, which is incompatible with the earlier assumption that magnetic ordering in the Ni sublattice takes place below TN2≈ 17 K. Significantly reduced fields Hhf(0) in In2NiMnO6(∼21 kOe) with a cycloidal magnetic structure and Tl2NiMnO6(∼18 kOe) with collinear ferromagnetic ordering are related to the supertransferred hyperfine field (HSTHF) induced by the nearest Mn4+neighbors. Taking into account the angular dependence HSTHF(ϑ) on the Ni–O–Mn bond angle ϑ, we have shown that HSTHFin the A = In and Tl perovskites has the negative sign, thus drastically reducing the resulting Hhfvalue.
