[en] The structural and physical properties of the β polymorph of iron tungstate Fe2WO6 have been investigated by synchrotron and neutron diffraction vs temperature, combined with magnetization and dielectric properties measurements. The monoclinic P21/a crystal structure of β-Fe2WO6 has been determined and consists of an original network of zigzag chains of FeO6 and WO6 octahedra sharing trans and skew edges, connected through corners into a 3D structure. Magnetization measurements indicate an antiferromagnetic transition at TN = 264 K, which corresponds to a ↑↑↓↓ nearly collinear ordering of iron moments inside sequences of four edge-sharing FeO6 octahedra, as determined by neutron diffraction. A canting of the moments out of the ac plane is observed below 150 K, leading to a noncollinear antiferromagnetic structure, the P21/a′ magnetic space group remaining unchanged. These results are discussed in comparison with the crystal and magnetic structures of γ-Fe2WO6 and with the magnetic couplings in other iron tungstates and trirutile Fe2TeO6.
