Abstract
An AA'3B4O12-type A-site-ordered quadruple perovskite oxide AgMn7O12 was prepared by high-pressure and high-temperature methods. At room temperature, the compound crystallizes into a cubic Im3̅ symmetry with a charge distribution of AgMn33+Mn43.5+O12. With the temperature decreasing to TCO,OO ≈ 180 K, the compound undergoes a structural phase transition toward a monoclinic C2/m symmetry, giving rise to a B-site charge- and orbital-ordered AgMn33+Mn23+Mn24+O12 phase. Moreover, this charge-/orbital-ordered main phase coexists with the initial cubic AgMn33+Mn43.5+O12 phase in the wide temperature range we measured. The charge-/orbital-ordered phase shows two antiferromagnetic phase transitions near 125 and 90 K, respectively. Short-range ferromagnetic correlations are found to occur for the initial B-site mixed cubic phase around 35 K. Because of the robust phase separation, considerable magnetoresistance effects are observed below TCO,OO in AgMn7O12.

Abstract
Perovskite-structure AMnO3 manganites played an important role in the development of numerous physical concepts such as double exchange, small polarons, electron-phonon coupling, and Jahn-Teller effects, and they host a variety of important properties such as colossal magnetoresistance and spin-induced ferroelectric polarization (multiferroicity). A-site-ordered quadruple perovskite manganites AMn7O12 were discovered shortly after, but at that time their exploration was quite limited. Significant progress in their understanding has been reached in recent years after the wider use of high-pressure synthesis techniques needed to prepare such materials. Here we review this progress, and show that the AMn7O12 compounds host rich physics beyond the canonical AMnO3 materials.
