abstract = {Detailed investigation of Ba$_2$MnGe$_2$O$_7$ was performed
in its low-temperature magnetoelectric state combining
neutron diffraction with magnetization measurements on
single crystals. In the paramagnetic state at 10 K,
polarized neutron diffraction was applied to reveal the
components of the susceptibility tensor. The crystal and
magnetic structures below the antiferromagnetic transition
temperature of $T_N$ ≈ 4K were determined using
unpolarized neutron diffraction. This data implies no
structural phase transition from 10K down to 2.5K and is
well described within the tetragonal space group
$P\overline{4}2_1m$. We found that in zero magnetic field
the magnetic space group is either $C_cmc2_1$ or
$P_c2_12_12_1$ with antiferromagnetic order along the [110]
or [100] directions, respectively, while neighboring spins
along the [001] axis are ordered antiferromagnetically. A
non-collinear spin arrangement due to small canting within
the ab plane is allowed by symmetry and observed
experimentally. The ordered moment is found to be 3.24(3)
μB/Mn$^{2+}$ at 2.5K and the temperaturefield dependent
magnetic phase diagram is mapped out by macroscopic
magnetization. Distinct differences between the magnetic
structure of Ba$_2$MnGe$_2$O$_7$ as compared to those of
Ba$_2$CoGe$_2$O$_7$ and Ca$_2$CoSi$_2$O$_7$ are discussed.},
