The highly metastable region across the metal-insulator transition in Nd0.25La0.25Ca0.5MnO3 is probed by transport and magnetic measurements. The metal-insulator transition observed around 130 K is associated with large thermal hysteresis between temperatures 50-150 K. Observation of minor hysteresis loops across the region indicates coexistence of both metallic and insulating phases. The field-cooled heating and the zero-field-cooled heating susceptibilities deviate from each other from 205 K, signifying thermo-magnetic irreversibility arising from magnetic pinning and/or glassy magnetic behaviour. The magnetoresistance measured on the heating and cooling loops are found to be different in magnitude and nature. The cooling-cycle magnetoresistance was found to be highly irreversible with an open-ended hysteresis loop. We also observe change in the nature of the magnetic relaxation data on the heating and cooling protocols. This indicate strong thermal history dependence of magneto-transport behaviour in the present compound.  相似文献

We have investigated the magnetic phase diagram of polycrystalline and single-crystal La1−xSrxMnO3 near 0.46≤x≤0.50. It turns out that for x<0.48, the polycrystalline material is ferromagnetic (FM), but for x≥0.48, incipient charge ordering takes place along with antiferromagnetism. At x=0.48, the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic phase transition in ceramics occurs at less than 85 kOe but requires significantly larger field for increasing x. These observations are in contrast to what is found in the single crystals, which are all FM.  相似文献

The nonstoichiometric NaxCoO2 system exhibits extraordinary physical properties that correlate with temperature and Na concentration in its layered lattice without evident long-range structure modification when conventional crystallographic techniques are applied. For instance, Na0.7CoO2, a thermodynamically stable phase, shows large thermoelectric power; water-intercalated Na0.33CoO2·1.3H2O is a newly discovered superconductor with Tc∼4 K, and Na0.5CoO2 exhibits an unexpected charge ordering transition at around Tco∼55 K. Recent studies suggest that the transport and magnetic properties in the NaxCoO2 system strongly depend on the charge carrier density and local structural properties. Here we report a combined variable temperature transmission electron microscopy and Raman scattering investigation on structural transformations in Na0.5CoO2 single crystals. A series of structural phase transitions in the temperature range from 80 to 1000 K are directly identified and the observed superstructures and modulated phases can be interpreted by Na-ordering. The Raman scattering measurements reveal phase separation and a systematic evolution of active modes along with phase transitions. Our work demonstrates that the high mobility and ordering of sodium cations among the CoO2 layers are a key factor for the presence of complex structural properties in NaxCoO2 materials, and also demonstrate that the combination of electron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy measurements is an efficient way for studying the cation ordering and phase transitions in related systems.  相似文献

An experimental study on the magnetic and electrical transport properties of the manganites Bi0.5Ca0.5Mn1−xCrxO3 (BCMCO) (0≤x≤0.12) is carried out. The results show that Cr doping can suppress the charge-ordering transition, favoring the ferromagnetic clusters. For x=0.12, the charge-ordering transition disappears but a very broad paramagnetic-ferromagnetic-like transition is detected at the Curie temperature TC=72.6 K. It is caused by phase separation or coexistence of the charge-ordering and ferromagnetic phase. Moreover, the critical Cr content to destroy charge ordering phase in BCMCO does not match the general monotonous tendencies shown by Cr-doped Re0.5Ca0.5MnO3 (Re-rare-earth). These differences are ascribed to the fact that the ground state in BCMCO differs markedly from the ferromagnetic metallic phase in Cr-doped Re0.5Ca0.5MnO3 compounds.  相似文献

The effect of Al substitution for Mn site in layered manganese oxides La1.3Sr1.7Mn2−xAlxO7 on the magnetic and electrical properties has been investigated. It is interesting that all the samples undergo a similar and complex transition with lowing temperature; they transform from the two-dimensional short-range ferromagnetic order at T*, then enter the three-dimensional long-range ferromagnetic state at TC, at last they display the canted antiferromagnetic state below TN. T*, TC and TN are all reduced with Al content. Resistivity increases sharply with increasing Al concentration, and the metal-insulator transition disappears when x reaches 10%. Additionally, magnetoresistance (MR) effect is weakened. Al substitution dilutes the magnetic active Mn-O-Mn network and weakens the double exchange interaction, and further suppresses FM ordering and metallic conduction. Owing to the anisotropic interaction in the layered perovskite, the magnetic and electrical properties are more sensitive to Al doping level than those in ABO3-type perovskite.  相似文献

The influence of dc current on the resistivity ρ and the Young's modulus E of La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 compound has been investigated by means of an in situ measuring method. At low temperatures, both the resistivity ρ and the relative modulus ΔE increase with the current. A relaxation behavior of ρ to the higher resistive state is observed at a fixed temperature and a constant current. After storing the sample for a few days, ρ decreases with the current, accompanying a slight drop of ΔE at low temperatures. Current-induced effects on ρ and ΔE are interpreted according to the current-induced interwinning of Mn3+O6 octahedral distortion modes between Q2- and Q3-types, which is suggested to contribute to the variation of the resistivity.  相似文献

The magnetic property of double doped manganite Nd0.5(1+x)Ca0.5(1−x)Mn(1−x)CrxO3 with a fixed ratio of Mn3+:Mn4+=1:1 has been investigated. For the undoped sample, it undergoes one transition from charge disordering to charge ordering (CO) associated with paramagnetic (PM)-antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase transition at T<250 K. The long range AFM ordering seems to form at 35 K, rather than previously reported 150 K. At low temperature, an asymmetrical M-H hysteresis loop occurs due to weak AFM coupling. For the doped samples, the substitution of Cr3+ for Mn3+ ions causes the increase of magnetization and the rise of Tc. As the Cr3+ concentration increases, the CO domain gradually becomes smaller and the CO melting process emerges. At low temperature, the FM superexchange interaction between Mn3+ and Cr3+ ions causes a magnetic upturn, namely, the second FM phase transition.  相似文献

Magnetoelastic properties of the Pr6Fe11Ga3 alloy are studied by magnetostriction and thermal expansion measurements. The effects of short- and long-range magnetic ordering processes about Curie temperature clearly appear in the temperature dependence of the spontaneous magnetostriction as two increasing steps with decreasing temperatures. Thermal variations of the total magnetocrystalline anisotropy introduce pronounce changes in the isofield curves of the forced magnetostriction as a negative minimum below 200 K, a compensation phenomena about 250 K, and a positive maximum between 250 K and Tc=320 K. The observed behavior of magnetostriction is discussed in terms of the competitive anisotropies of Pr and Fe sublattices and coupling magnetostrictive constants.  相似文献

The temperature dependence of the resistivity for composite samples of (1−x)La0.67Ba0.33MnO3+xYSZ(LBMO/YSZ) with different YSZ doping level of x has been investigated in a magnetic field range of 0-7000 Oe, where the YSZ represents yttria-stabilized zirconia (8 mol% Y2O3+92 mol% ZrO2). With increasing YSZ doping level, the range of 0-10%, the metal-insulator transition temperature (TP) decreases. However, the resistivity, specially the low temperature resistivity, increases. Results also show that the YSZ doping level has an important effect on a low field magnetoresistance (LFMR). In the magnetic field of 7000 Oe, a room temperature magnetoresistance value of 20% was observed for the composite with a YSZ doping level of 2%, which is encouraging for potential application of CMR materials at room temperature and low field.  相似文献

The evolution of magnetic and electrical phases in La0.8−δCa0.2MnO3 was investigated in terms of La deficiency. We found that the increase of the La deficiency tends to raise the Curie temperature (TC) in La0.8−δCa0.2MnO3. The FM clusters formed in compounds with large La deficiency provide percolation paths above TC. With increasing the La defect, the transport property changes from insulating to metallic state, which is in association with the crossover from a second order to a first order magnetic phase transition in the vicinity of TC.  相似文献
