Abstract
We present neutron diffraction measurements on single-crystal samples of nonsuperconducting Ba() as a function of Cr doping for . The average spin-density-wave moment is independent of concentration for and decreases rapidly for . For concentrations in excess of 30% chromium, we find a new competing magnetic phase consistent with G-type antiferromagnetism which rapidly becomes the dominant magnetic ground state. Strong magnetism is observed for all concentrations measured, naturally explaining the absence of superconductivity in the Cr-doped materials.
