Abstract
Structure factors for small, hydrothermally grown samarium orthoferrite, SmFeO3, were measured with focused λ = 0.7 Å synchrotron radiation. Approximate high symmetry in the Δρ images indicates that cations deform the electron density far more strongly than the O atoms. The most obvious effect is on distribution of the Fe atoms. The influence of the nearest low-symmetry (Cs
) O coordination on the electron density of the Sm cation is weak by comparison with that of the Sm–Fe interactions, as is illustrated by the high symmetry of the Δρ map near the Sm atom. The Sm–Fe interactions appear to affect the magnetic ordering and spin configuration of the Fe atoms. Space group Pnma, orthorhombic, Mr
