Prediction of thermomagnetic properties of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 and La0.67Sr0.33MnO3

The dependence of magnetization on the variation of temperature for La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ and La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃ perovskite-type ceramic materials under an external magnetic field was modelled. Application of phenomenological model was performed, showing a good agreement with the experimental data. Temperature dependence of change of both magnetic entropy and specific heat under magnetic field 0.05?T was predicted for La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ and La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃. Predicted values of maximum magnetic entropy change, full-width at half-maximum, relative cooling power and maximum specific heat under 0.05 T were evaluated.

Charge-carrier density collapse in La0.67Ca0.33MnO3and La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 epitaxial thin films

We measured the temperature dependence of the linear high field Hall resistivity of ( K) and ( K) thin films in the temperature range from 4 K up to 360 K in magnetic fields up to 20 T. At low temperatures we find a charge-carrier density of 1.3 and 1.4 holes per unit cell for the Ca- and Sr-doped compound, respectively. In this temperature range electron-magnon scattering contributes to the longitudinal resistivity. At the ferromagnetic transition temperature a dramatic drop in the number of charge-carriers n down to 0.6 holes per unit cell, accompanied by an increase in unit cell volume, is observed. Corrections of the Hall data due to a non saturated magnetic state will lead a more pronounced charge-carrier density collapse. Received 22 July 1999 and Received in final form 7 October 1999     

Focused ion beam fabrication and magneto-electrical transport properties of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 nanobridge

La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ particle films with an average particle size of ~150 nm were grown on single-crystal silicon substrate using pulsed electron deposition technique and then focused ion beam was introduced to fabricate nanobridge in size of 300 × 900 nm on the particle film. The magneto-transport properties of both samples were studied. For the film, there is only one resistance peak at 182 K in temperature-dependent resistance (R–T) curves, which is far lower than ferromagnetic–paramagnetic transition temperature (T _C) of 250 K. When compared to the film, double peaks were observed in both R–T curves and magnetoresistance dependent on temperature (MR–T) curves of the nanobridge, one peak is at 186 K, which is very close to metal–insulator transition temperature (T _P) of film, the other one is at 250 K, which is close to the T _C of film, and these two peaks caused separately by grain and grain boundary (GB), which demonstrated that the electrical transport behavior of grain was separated from that of GB.

Effect of oxygen non-stoichiometry on magnetic and electrical transport properties of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3

The effect of oxygen deficiency and oxygen excess on the magnetic and electrical transport properties of La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃ has been investigated. The thermal and isothermal magnetization measurement results show that the Curie temperature and saturation magnetization of oxygen deficient sample (defined as A) are higher than those oxygen excess sample (defined as B). The electrical resistivity of A is lower than that of B in studied temperature range. The magnetoresistance (MR) of B is larger than that of A in the temperature range from 280 to 360 K, which agrees with the magnetic field needed full spin polarization at room temperature. The colossal MR (CMR) around transition temperature from ferromagnetic metal to paramagnetic insulator (T_MI) for A is larger than that for B, which arises from assistance of stronger lattice deformation for A.     

Anomalous acoustoelectric effect in La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 films

We have studied the acoustoelectric (AE) effect produced by surface acoustic waves (SAW) in a monolithic layered structure, composed of a piezodielectric LiNbO3 substrate and a La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 film. The experiments unexpectedly revealed in the longitudinal AE effect an anomalous contribution, invariant upon reversal of SAW propagation, which coexists with the ordinary (odd in wave vector) effect. The anomalous effect dominates near the metal-insulator transition, while the ordinary effect prevails at high and low temperatures. We show that the anomalous effect is caused by strong modulation of the film conductivity produced by the SAW elastic deformations.     

Electrical properties of La0.67Sr0.16Ca0.17MnO3 perovskite

La_0.67Sr_0.16Ca_0.17MnO₃ perovskite was prepared by the solid-state reaction technique. Preliminary room-temperature structural studies confirm the formation of the sample in the rhombohedral structure. The electrical response was studied using the impedance spectroscopy technique over a broad frequency range (250 Hz–3 MHz). The results indicate that the electrical properties of the material are strongly dependent on temperature and frequency. Impedance spectrum analysis shows that the material can be described as a grain and grain boundary medium and permits to estimate the grain boundary contribution. Electronic conduction is found to be dominated by a thermally activated hopping of small polaron at high temperatures.

Evidence of ferrimagnetism in ferromagnetic La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 nanoparticle

The present paper shows that bulk La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ (LCMN) sample of micron size particles is a typical ferromagnet and magnetic properties of LCMN samples with particle size in the nanometer scale are better described in the frame work of a ferrimagnetic structure. Detailed analysis of the temperature dependence of the inverse of paramagnetic susceptibility has confirmed the signature of ferrimagnetism in the nano-sized particles of LCMN. We have explained the observed ferrimagnetism as an effect of modified magnetic properties in the core–shell spin structure of LCMN particles, irrespective of the nanocrystalline and amorphous phase of the material.     

Structure and magnetic properties of CrN thin films on La0.67Sr0.33MnO3

High crystalline quality CrN thin films have been grown on La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃ (LSMO) templates by molecular beam epitaxy. The structure and magnetic properties of CrN/LSMO heterojunctions are investigated combining with the experiments and the first-principles simulation. The Nėel temperature of the CrN/LSMO samples is found to be 281 K and the saturation magnetization of CrN/LSMO increases compared to that of LSMO templates. The magnetic property of CrN/LSMO heterostructures mainly comes from Cr atoms of (001) CrN and Mn atoms of (001) LSMO. The (001) LSMO induces and couples the spin of the CrN sublattice at CrN/LSMO interface.     

Variation of the electrophysical properties of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 epilayers during secondary recrystallization

La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ epitaxial films are grown by laser evaporation on (LaAlO₃)_0.3 + (Sr₂AlTaO₆)_0.7 substrates. The films have single-crystalline mosaic blocks (grains), which are distinctly oriented in both the azimuth direction and the substrate plane. During the heat treatment of the manganite films in the oxygen atmosphere, their microstructure is improved both in the bulk and in the intergranular regions. The maximal value of the temperature coefficient of resistance for the heat-treated La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ films increases by nearly two times, while the magnetoresistance increases by no more than 10%.     

EPR investigation of nanosized La0.67Ca0.33MnO3−δ manganites

We report an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigation of the spin dynamics in the paramagnetic regime of nanosized La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO_3?δ manganites. The temperature dependences of the EPR line width and integral intensity have been analyzed in terms of the bottlenecked spin relaxation and small polaron hopping scenarios. The exchange coupling integral between Mn³⁺ and Mn⁴⁺ ions and the polaron activation energy decrease with the reduction of grain size. A discussion is given concerning the factors which could explain the observed changes.

Thermal conductivity and infrared spectra study of polycrystalline La0.67Ca0.33MnO3

The thermal conductivity and infrared transmission spectra of La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ are investigated systematically. The thermal conductivity increases abruptly as the temperature is decreased through the Curie temperature. The effective charge carriers number and the frequency of transverse optic phonon corresponding to the stretching mode also increase dramatically along with decreasing temperature near Curie temperature. Combining our observation with previous reported results, we ascribe the abrupt change of thermal conductivity to the itinerating of the charge carriers due to the remarkable reduction of Jahn–Teller distortion below the Curie temperature.     

厚度与应变效应对La0.67 Ca0.33 MnO3薄膜电输运与居里温度的影响

在厚度为25-400nm范围内,系统地研究了(001)SrTiO3(STO),(001)LaAlO3(LAO)衬底上La0.67Ca0.33MnO3(LCMO)薄膜的电输运与居里温度TC随薄膜厚度及衬底的变化.结果表明,随薄膜变薄,电阻率ρ增加,TC降低.对于同一薄膜厚度,LCMO/STO薄膜的ρ大于LCMO/LAO基上的薄膜的ρ.TC与衬底的依赖关系则与ρ相反.分析表明,LCMO薄膜的低温区电阻温度(ρ-T)符合关系式ρ=ρ0+Bωs/sinh2(hωs/2/kBT)+CTn,其中ρ0为剩余电阻;等号右端第二项反映软光学模声子对电子散射的贡献;第三项包括其余可能散射机理在电输运过程中所起的作用;B,ωs(软光学模声子的平均频率)与C都为拟合系数.高温区的电输运则由小极化子跃迁模型ρ=DT×exp(Ea/kBT)描述(Ea为极化子激发能).根据ρ0,ωs,Ea以及TC变化,初步讨论了薄膜中的厚度与应变效应.进一步研究发现ωs,Ea的变化与TC相关,从而说明极化子效应为影响TC变化的主要因素.     

Anomalous acoustoelectric effect and the transport properties of thin La0.67Ca0.33Mno3 films

A complex of studies of the physical properties of thin lanthanum manganite La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ films were performed for a monolithic layered structure consisting of a LiNbO₃ substrate and a La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ thin epitaxial film. For the first time, not only ordinary acoustoelectric (AE) current of charge carriers dragged by a surface acoustic wave, but also longitudinal anomalous AE current, which flowed in a distinguished direction independent of the direction of the surface acoustic wave propagation, was observed. The anomalous AE effect predominated close to the metal-insulator transition, whereas the odd AE effect predominated at high and low temperatures. The sign of the ordinary odd AE effect corresponded to hole conduction of the film. A theoretical analysis showed that the anomalous AE effect is due to a strong film conduction modulation caused by deformation created by the surface acoustic wave. The theoretical results were in close agreement with experiment. The temperature dependences of resistivity ρ(both in the absence of a magnetic field and in fields of up to 3 T), high-frequency magnetic susceptibility, and thermoelectric power were studied.
