The magnetic structure of NaYMnWO6 was determined by neutron powder diffraction measurements. Below 9 K, the magnetic structure is a helix to wave vector k = (0, 0.447, 1/2), in contrast with NaYNiWO6, which shows a transverse spin density wave with k = (0.47, 0, 0.49). By analyzing the differences in the spin exchanges of NaYMnWO6 and NaYNiWO6, and in the magnetic anisotropies of the Mn2+ (d5, S = 5/2) and the Ni2+ (d2, S = 1) ions, we show what factors govern the propagation direction of a noncollinear magnetic structure and whether it becomes a helix or a cycloid.
