Abstract: | The effect of Cu-doping at Mo-site on structural, magnetic, electrical transport and specific heat properties in molybdates SrMo1−xCuxO3 (0≤x≤0.2) has been investigated. The Cu-doping at Mo-site does not change the space group of the samples, but decreases the structural parameter a monotonously. The magnetic properties change from Pauli-paramagnetism for x=0 to exchange-enhanced Pauli-paramagnetism for x=0.05 and 0.10, and then ferromagnetism for x=0.15 and 0.20. All samples exhibit metallic-like transport behavior in the whole temperature range studied. The magnitude of resistivity increases initially to x=0.10 and then decreases with increasing Cu-doping concentration. The results are discussed according to the electron localization due to the disorder effect induced by the random distribution of Cu at Mo site in the samples. In addition, the temperature dependence of specific heat for the Cu-doped sample has also been studied. |
