In spite of its frustrated lattice, the multiferroic
Lu0.5Sc0.5FeO3 exhibits two consecutive
magnetic transitions at TN1 ≈ 175 K and TN2 ≈ 70 K determined from neutron diffraction. In the ordered
state, magnetic fluctuations are present, most likely arising from the in-plane
frustrated interaction of the Fe hexagonal lattice. Furthermore, a crossover of
the magnetic intensity is observed from elastic to inelastic upon warming,
indicating that magnetic fluctuations persist well above TN1, a common feature in hexagonal multiferroics.
