International audienceWe investigated the magnetic and crystal structures of the recent reported magnetoelectric system LiCrSi2O6 by powder neutron diffraction. Below TN=11.5 K, an antiferromagnetic order appears. It is characterized by an antiferromagnetic coupling within the CrO6 octahedra chains and a ferromagnetic coupling between the chains. The magnetic order is commensurate with the lattice with k=0. The associated magnetic space group is P21 /c. This symmetry is in agreement with the reported magnetoelectric effect. We show that the magnetic frustration in this system is small. Finally, we discuss our results using a Landau phenomenological model and in the light of the literature
