The magnetic behavior of the Sr0.3 manganite is studied using a local microprobe, 57Co. In contrast with Ca substituted manganites, a much larger fraction of the material exhibits short-range order with superparamagnetic-like behavior even at 80 K. The differences in behavior are attributed to the large mismatch between the ionic radii of La+3 and the divalent substituent Sr+2, which introduces anharmonicity in local vibrations. In common with all other compounds exhibiting negative bulk magnetoresistivity, the Sr0.3 compound also exhibits very marked softening of lattice as one approaches Tc from below. Application of an external magnetic field results in coalescing of nanosized magnetic clusters to form larger ones with better alignment of spins. 相似文献

In this work we analyse systematically how morphological and magnetotransport properties of manganite thin films are affected by the damage induced by focused ion beam (FIB) irradiation. We irradiate different areas of the same sample with doses ranging from 5×1012 to 3×1017 ions/cm2 and we find that the film becomes swollen for doses up to 1016 ions/cm2 and is eventually eroded by ion milling for further irradiation. On the other hand, transport properties are much more sensitive to FIB irradiation: the metal–insulator transition temperature is found to decrease monotonically with increasing doses up to 1.8×1013 ions/cm2. At doses higher than 5.6×1013 ions/cm2 the metallic state is completely suppressed and likely, also ferromagnetism. 相似文献

Magnetic nanoparticles of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) manganite were prepared by sol-gel method. Phase formation and crystal structure of the synthesized powder were examined by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) using the Rietveld analysis. The mean particle size was determined by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Infrared transmission spectroscopy revealed that stretching and bending modes are influenced by calcinations temperature. The temperature dependence of the ac magnetic susceptibility was measured at different frequencies and ac magnetic fields in the selected ranges of 40-1000 Hz and 80-800 A/m, respectively. The temperature dependence of ac susceptibility shows a characteristic maxima corresponding to the blocking temperature near room temperature. The frequency dependence of the blocking temperature is well described by the Vogel-Fulcher law. By fitting the experimental data with this law, the relaxation time τ0=1.7×10−12 s, characteristic temperature T0=262±3 K, anisotropy energy Ea/k=684±15 K and effective magnetic anisotropy constant keff=2.25×104 erg/cm3 have been obtained. dc Magnetization measurement versus magnetic field shows that some of LSMO nanoparticles are blocked at 293 K. The role of magnetic interparticle interactions on the magnetic behavior is also investigated. 相似文献

La0.7Ce0.3MnO3 epitaxial films were successfully fabricated via a pulsed laser deposition method by controlling the experimental conditions. A series of experiments with varying the oxygen pressure and the substrate temperature demonstrated that the use of appropriate conditions is crucial for fabricating the epitaxial thin films. The existence of such suitable conditions was thermodynamically interpreted in terms of the stability of Mn2+ ion. Both XRD and EPMA measurements indicated that La0.7Ce0.3MnO3 thin films fabricated herein form single phases, although it was difficult to present the direct experimental evidence to prove that Ce ion can really exist within the perovskite structure. The resultant films with oxygen annealing showed a metal-insulator transition and ferromagnetic property with Curie temperature of 275 K. 相似文献

We report the results of the temperature-dependent neutron diffraction measurements on the nearly half-doped (La0.325Tb0.125)(Ca0.3Sr0.25)MnO3 manganite sample. The simultaneous doping of magnetic Tb3+ and divalent Sr2+ in the La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 system results into a large A-site size disorder. Rietveld refinement of neutron diffraction data reveal that the single phase sample crystallizes in a distorted orthorhombic structure. Increased 〈rA〉 value affects the transport behavior that results into an insulating-like behavior of the sample. Under application of 1 T field sample exhibit insulating-like behavior while insulator-metal transition (TIM) is exhibited under 5 and 8 T fields. Variable range hoping (VRH) mechanism of charge carriers is exhibited in the insulating region. Field cooled and zero field cooled magnetization measurement shows the Curie temperature (TC)~47 K. The refinement of the ND data collected at various temperatures below 300 K shows that there is no structural phase transition in the compound. Around 100 K, a magnetic peak appears at lower angle that can be ascribed to the presence of the A-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase. Two more peaks are observed around 50 K at lower angles that can be fitted in CE-type antiferromagnetic phase. Splitting of the peaks at lower temperatures is the signature of orbital ordering in the presently studied nearly half-doped manganite system. Results of the detailed structural analysis of the temperature-dependent ND measurements on (LaTb)0.45(CaSr)0.55MnO3 sample has been discussed in the light of coexisting A-type and CE-type antiferromagnetic phases present in the sample at low temperature. 相似文献

We report our analysis of resistivity data on Nd0.67Sr0.33MnO3 polycrystalline samples as a function of preparative conditions using a bond percolation model for a random mixture of metallic and insulating regions, assuming polaronic transport above and below the metal-insulator (M-I) transition temperature. Our analysis suggests that for oxygen deficient compounds the M-I transition that occurs at a lower temperature than the ferromagnetic transition arises from a percolation of the metallic regions. The temperature dependence of resistivity and thermopower suggests the existence of a bimodal distribution of conductivities. 相似文献

This study reports the new and simple synthesis of magnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) nanoparticles by thermal decomposition method using acetate salts of La, Sr and Mn as starting materials. To obtain
the LSMO nanoparticles, thermal decomposition of the precursor is carried out at the temperatures of 600, 700, 800, 900, and
1000°C for 6 hours. The synthesized LSMO nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TEM and SEM. Structural characterization
shows that the prepared particles consisted of two phases of LaMnO3 (LMO) and LSMO with crystallite sizes ranging from 18 to 55 nm. All the prepared samples have a perovskite structure which
changes from cubic to rhombohedral with the increase in the thermal decomposition temperature. Basic magnetic characteristics
such as saturation magnetization (M
S) and coercive field (H
C) are evaluated by sample vibrating magnetometry at room temperature (20°C). The samples show soft ferromagnetic behavior
with M
S values of ∼9–55 emu/g and H
C values of ∼8–37 Oe, depending on the crystallite size and thermal decomposition temperature. The relationship between the
crystallite size and the magnetic properties is presented and discussed. The cytotoxicity of synthesized LSMO nanoparticles
was also evaluated with NIH 3T3 cells and the result showed that the synthesized nanoparticles were not toxic to the cells
as determined from cell viability in response to the liquid extraction of LSMO nanoparticles. 相似文献

The magnetic and transport properties of La1−xCaxMnO3 (0≤x<0.4) have been systematically studied. The magnetoresistance (MR) maximum appears at x=0.2-0.25 and the temperature dependence of MR for x>0.25 shows a much broader profile than that of samples for x=0.2-0.25. Based on a scenario in which there is a short-range charge ordering (CO) state coexisting in the ferromagnetic state matrix for x>0.25, and the least or even no short-range CO state exists in samples for x=0.2-0.25, the above observations can be understood. 相似文献

The electrical and magnetic transport properties of the La0.67−xEuxCa0.33MnO3 system exhibit lowering of insulator to metal and paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition temperature (TC) with the increase of Eu concentration in addition to possessing CMR property. The temperature variation of electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility for x=0.21 is found to have two distinct regions in the paramagnetic state for T>TP; one with the localization of lattice polaron in the high-temperature region (T>1.5TP) satisfying the dynamics of variable range hopping (VRH) model and the other being the combination of the spin and lattice polarons in the region TP<T<1.5TP. The resistivity variation with temperature and magnetic field, the cusp in the resistivity peak and CMR phenomenon are interpreted in terms of coexistence of spin and lattice small polarons in the intermediate region (TP<T<1.5TP). The spin polaron energy in the La0.46Eu0.21Ca0.33MnO3 system is estimated to be 106.73±0.90 meV and this energy decreases with the increase of external magnetic field. The MR ratio is maximal with a value of 99.99% around the transition temperature and this maximum persists till T→0 K, at the field of 8 T. 相似文献

The effect of grain size on structural, magnetic and transport properties in electron-doped manganites La0.9Te0.1MnO3 has been investigated. All samples show a rhombohedral structure with the space group at room temperature. The Mn-O-Mn bond angle decreases and the Mn-O bond length increases with the increase of grain size. All samples undergo paramagnetic (PM)-ferromagnetic (FM) phase transitions and the interesting phenomenon that both magnetization and the Curie temperature TC decrease with increasing grain size is observed, which is suggested to mainly originate from the increase of the Mn-O bond length dMn-O. Additionally, ρ obviously increases with decreasing grain size due to the increase of both the height and width of tunneling barriers with decreasing grain size. The results indicate that both the intrinsic colossal magnetoresistance and the extrinsic interfacial magnetoresistance can be effectively tuned in La0.9Te0.1MnO3 by changing grain size. 相似文献

Grain size effects on magnetic and transport properties for heavily Sr-doped A-type antiferromagnetic La0.4Sr0.6MnO3 ceramics were studied. It was observed that with decrease in grain size, surface ferromagnetism could be introduced due to bond-breaking at surfaces. With decrease in grain size, the surface ferromagnetism was enhanced, and the phase transition order distinguished from the Arrott plot was a second one. The surface-induced ferromagnetism was insulating as judged from transport properties. With decrease in grain size, magnetoresistance was largely improved for both high magnetic and low magnetic fields. Under a 500 Oe magnetic field, the magnetoresistance is improved from 0.2%, 0.1%, 0.03% and 0.02% for the sample with grain size of 150 nm at 10, 100, 200 and 300 K, respectively, to 3%, 2.3%, 0.43% and 0.12% for the sample with grain size of 20 nm at 10, 100, 200 and 300 K. It was interesting to find that large magnetoresistance could be induced due to the surface ferromagnetism in A-type antiferromagnetic La0.4Sr0.6MnO3 nanoparticles, which suggested that it was possible to search for manganites with relatively high low-field magnetoresistance in nanostructured A-type antiferromagnetic materials. 相似文献

We experimentally studied the transport properties and magnetoresistance behavior of a La0.7Ce0.3MnO3/SrTiO3 (doped by 1 wt% Nb) junction. Based on the analyses of the current-voltage relations and the depletion width, we conclude that the dominant transport mechanism of the junction is tunneling. The magnetoresistance of the junction is negative throughout the whole bias voltage range (from −1 V to 0.4 V) and the whole temperature range (below 300 K). It is believed that the magnetic field depresses the junction resistance by reducing the depletion width of the junction. 相似文献

La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) junctions have been fabricated on step-edge (0 0 1) SrTiO3 substrates with a high step-edge angle. In the measurement of magnetoresistance (MR) ratio versus external magnetic field H, butterfly-like MR curves are clearly observed. The MR(H ) curves vary with θ, the angle between the applied magnetic field and the current direction in the substrate plane, showing anisotropic MR properties. A much broader MR(H) response is observed for the configuration of H perpendicular to the substrate plane. Additionally, the maxima-MR field Hp almost coincides with the coercive field Hc for θ<60° but obeys a different form from Hc(θ). The high-field junction resistance shows an intrinsic sin2θ angular dependence, while the low-field resistance shows an extrinsic cos(4θ) angular dependence. The distinctive features are mainly due to the induced magnetization anisotropy in the artificial steps of grain boundaries. 相似文献

We carried out the heat capacity calculation of the magnetoresistance compounds EuMnO3 and Eu0.7A0.3MnO3 (where A=Ca and Sr) as a function of temperature from 5 to 100 K, using the Rigid Ion Model (RIM). The results on heat capacity for EuMnO3 and Eu0.7A0.3MnO3 (A=Ca and Sr) obtained by us are in good agreement with the measured values. Although strong electron–phonon interactions are present in these compounds but the lattice part of the specific heat also deserves proper attention. The parent compound EuMnO3 exhibits two magnetic transitions at 35 and 47 K due to weak ferromagnetic (FM) component and antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering. In addition, we have reported cohesive energy (φ), molecular force constant (f), compressibility (β), Restrahalen frequency (υ0), Debye temperature (θD) and Gruneisen parameter (γ) in the temperature range 5 K?T?100 K. 相似文献

The structural and magnetic properties of Pr0.75Na0.25MnO3 have been investigated experimentally. At room temperature, the compound shows paramagnetic characteristic. Along with decreasing temperature, a peak appears in the magnetization versus temperature curve around 220 K. To clarify whether this peak is associated with the ordering arrangement of Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions, electron diffraction experiments were carried out below and above 220 K respectively. Only basic Brag diffraction spots can be observed at high temperatures, however, superlattice diffraction appears below 220 K. This provides direct evidence for the existence of charge ordering in Pr0.75Na0.25MnO3. We find the Mn3+ and Mn4+ cations form zigzag chains in a-c plane by analyzing the diffraction patterns. Combining with the magnetization measurements and the results of electron spin resonance, we confirm the antiferromagnetic phase and ferromagnetic component coexist in Pr0.75Na0.25MnO3 below 120 K. 相似文献

The structural, transport and electron spin resonance properties of bulk and nanosized La0.875Sr0.125MnO3 prepared by a sol-gel method have been investigated. The bulk sample has an orthorhombic structure and a ferromagnetic insulating ground state. The ESR spectra indicate the coexistence of the ferromagnetic insulating and ferromagnetic metallic phases below TC. In addition to a sharp peak in the vicinity of TC, another sharp peak close to is clearly observed in the intensity of the spectra, which may be correlated with the structural transition and orbital ordering at this temperature. For the nanosized sample, a drastically different behavior is found. With a rhombohedral structure down to 70 K, the nanosized sample shows a ferromagnetic metallic ground state. The ESR studies reveal the coexistence of the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic resonance signals. The resonance intensity shows a broad peak around 200 K, which may be due to the wide ferromagnetic transition in the nanoparticle. 相似文献

The author of the comment objects to the characterization and the interpretation of magnetoresistance (MR) effects observed by us in La1−xCaxMnO3 (0≤x<0.4) samples. In this reply, arguments are used to show that the samples' characterization and explanation of the MR by considering the role of the short-charge ordering (CO) regions and magnetic domains are reasonable and acceptable. 相似文献

We report the detailed results of magnetization and magnetoresistance measurements in the Ru doped layered manganite system La1.2Sr1.8Mn2−xRuxO7 (x=0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0). High-resolution measurements of magnetization and magnetoresistance were carried out as functions of temperature, magnetic field and time. We find evidence for the existence of competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions resulting in the formation of a frustrated spin-glass-like state at low temperatures. The time dependent magnetization follows the relation very well. We find that Ru doping enhances the coercive field and drives the system towards a magnetically mixed phase at low temperatures. Large negative magnetoresistance values are observed in all samples and at low temperatures the magnetoresistance varies as the square root of the applied magnetic field. 相似文献
