Nd0.5Ca0.5Mn0.97Co0.03O3体系的超声研究

系统研究了Nd0.5Ca0.5Mn0.97Co0.03O3单相多晶样品在低温下的电磁性质和超声特性.超声测量结果表明,体系在低温下超声声速出现异常,超声声速从室温开始随着温度的降低逐渐减小,并在220K附近声速达到最小,其相对变化(ΔV/V)超过2%.之后,随着温度的进一步降低,声速急剧硬化,其相对变化达到14.5%.分析表明这是由于体系中电-声子相互作用导致的电荷有序态转变的结果,该电声子耦合来源于Mn3 的JahnTeller效应.同时,该体系在100K左右出现了金属绝缘体转变同时伴随着铁磁相变,分析表明在低温下Co离子与Mn离子之间存在着铁磁交换作用,因此微量的Co掺杂会在反铁磁区域内形成部分铁磁小团簇,当铁磁团簇连通后,体系由反铁磁电荷有序态(AFMCO)向铁磁金属态(FMM)转变.研究结果表明了样品在电荷有序相变温度TCO与金属绝缘体转变温度TMI之间(TMI相似文献

Pr1/3Sr2/3FeO3中电荷有序现象的超声研究

系统研究了Pr1/3Sr2/3FeO3单相多晶样品在低温下的电荷输运性质和超声特性.电阻测量表明,Pr1/3Sr2/3FeO3在162K发生了电荷有序相变.而超声声速从室温开始就出现了明显的软化,在电荷有序温度附近达到最小值,随后又急剧硬化,同时伴随着一个巨大的衰减峰.分析指出这是由于电-声子相互作用导致的结果,该电-声子耦合可能起源于Fe4 的Jahn-Teller效应.     

La0.9Na0.1MnO3的反常超声特性

系统地测量了La0.9Na0.1MnO3单相陶瓷样品的电阻、磁化率、超声声 速和衰减随温度的变化关系，发现在245K附近体系发生顺磁绝缘体－铁磁金属相变，同时超声声速出现剧烈的软化现象，其相对变化超过2％。超声衰减也出现一个尖锐的衰减峰。经分析认为这些发生在Curie温度附近的反常超声现象，可能是由自旋－声子和电－声子相互作用共同引起的。     

La1.88-yNdySr0.12CuO4中电荷有序的超声衰减研究

通过对La1.88-yNdySr0.12CuO4系列多晶样品电阻率的测量,发现y=0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6样品的电阻率随着温度降低在50～80K之间出现一个小于5%的跳跃转变,转变前其导电行为呈金属性,转变后呈半导体性,暗示了体系中静态电荷有序的产生.随着Nd掺杂量y的增加,转变温度Tc0升高,跳跃转变宽度变窄.进一步的超声衰减测量显示,对应电荷有序温度Tc0,声速随温度降低开始出现异常硬化,衰减系数也出现峰值,随y的增加,衰减峰明显加强.实验结果表明, Nd掺杂的增加利于钉扎体系中的动态电荷关联而形成静态的电荷有序.这种作用可能主要是由于Nd掺杂引起体系局域结构畸变,低温四方相(LTT)结构畴比例增加并得以稳定引起的,说明LTT相利于静态电荷有序条纹的形成.

Experimental evidence of coupling interaction between charge ordering and spin ordering

In order to experimentally probe into the complicated interaction between charge ordering and spin ordering in manganites,two sets of samples Nd0.5Sr0.5Mn1-xGaxO3(NSMGO) and Nd 0.5Sr0.5Mn1-y CryO3(NSMCO)(0.0 x,y 0.075),have been studied by means of electrical transport,magnetization,electron spin resonance and transmission electron microscopy analysis.By comparing the influence of Cr-doping and Ga-doping in the Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3(NSMO) system,large difference between the evolution of charge ordering temperature T co in the Cr-doping and the Ga-doping cases is found.In the NSMCO system,the CE-type antiferromagnetic(AFM)/charge ordering(CO) phase disappears with only 2.5 percent Cr doping;but in the NSMGO system,the CE-type AFM/CO phase always exists.This phenomenon indicates that the charge ordering formation is dominated by the spin ordering.As a result,it is experimentally proved that there is strong coupling interaction between charge ordering and spin ordering in NSMO system.     

Charge ordering characteristics in Y0.5Ca0.5MnO3 manganite

The charge ordering characteristics in Y_0.5Ca_0.5MnO₃ manganite, prepared by sol–gel process, have been investigated experimentally. It is found that the superlattice diffractions appear in the electron diffraction patterns recorded at low temperatures, while only basic Brag diffraction spots can be observed when temperature is higher than 300 K. This provides direct evidence for the existence of charge ordering in Y_0.5Ca_0.5MnO₃. The magnetization and specific heat measurements indicate the charge ordering temperature of Y_0.5Ca_0.5MnO₃ is 290 K, around which both the magnetization and specific heat reveal anomalous behaviors. We also observed that the MnO bond length changed remarkably and the effective number of carriers reduced prominently with decreasing temperature around charge ordering temperature through transform infrared spectra measurements.

Neutron powder diffraction investigation on the crystal and magnetic structure of (Ho(0.50+x)Ca(0.50-x))(Mn(1-x)Cr(x))O3

The crystal and magnetic structure of (Ho(0.50+x)Ca(0.50-x))(Mn(1-x)Cr(x))O(3) (x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03) has been investigated between 5 and 300 K by means of neutron powder diffraction followed by Rietveld refinement and dc magnetic measurements. During cooling an orthorhombic to monoclinic phase transition occurs on account of the charge and orbital ordering taking place in the Mn sub-lattice; at low temperature phase separation takes place and the main monoclinic phase coexists with a secondary orthorhombic phase, whose amount slightly increases with the increase of Cr content. Cr(3+) is not involved in orbital ordering or superexchange interactions. The charge and magnetic ordering are decoupled: the Mn moments order according to a CE-type structure in all samples.     

Unraveling orbital ordering in La0.5Sr1.5MnO4

Orbital ordering (OO) in the layered perovskite La0.5Sr1.5MnO4 has been investigated using the enhanced sensitivity of soft x-ray resonant diffraction at the Mn L edges. The energy dependence of an OO diffraction peak over the L(2,3) edges is compared to ligand-field calculations allowing a distinction between the influences of Jahn-Teller distortions and spin correlations. The energy dependence of the diffraction peak at the Mn L1 edge is remarkably different from that observed at the Mn K edge.     

Irreversible metamagnetic transition and magnetic memory in small-bandwidth manganite Pr(1-x)Ca(x)MnO3 (x = 0.0-0.5)

The present paper reports detailed structural and magnetic characterization of the low-bandwidth manganite Pr(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(3) (with x = 0.0-0.5) (PCMO) polycrystalline samples. With increasing Ca content, reduction of the unit cell volume and improvement in perovskite structure symmetry was observed at room temperature. Magnetic characterization shows the signature of coexisting AFM-FM ordering and spin-glass phase at the low doping range (x = 0.0-0.2) while increased hole doping (x = 0.3-0.5) leads to charge ordering, training effect and an irreversible metamagnetic phenomenon. The large irreversible metamagnetism in the CO phase of PCMO and the corresponding spin memory effect is a direct consequence of hysteretic first-order phase transition arising from the weakening of the CO state under the external magnetic field and trapping of the spins due to a strong pinning potential in the material.     

Temperature-dependent Brillouin scattering studies of surface acoustic modes in Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3

Brillouin scattering experiments are carried out to study the surface acoustic waves in Nd_0.5Sr_0.5MnO₃ as a function of temperature in the range of 40-300 K covering the metal-insulator and charge-ordering phase transitions. The surface modes include surface Rayleigh wave, pseudo-surface acoustic wave (PSAW) and high velocity PSAW. The observed softening of the sound velocities for the surface modes below paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition, T_c is related to the softening of the C₄₄ elastic constant. The subsequent hardening of the sound velocity below the charge ordering transition temperature T_co is attributed to the coupling of the acoustic phonon to the charge ordered state via long range ordering of the strong Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion.
