Abstract: | The NiK-edge XANES of reduced Nd2−xSrxNiO4samples shows an increase of Ni3+content with Sr3+concentration. The appearance of mixed valence Ni2+/Ni3+produces a change in the magnetic properties of the system. The Nd3+sublattice orders antiferromagnetically atTN∼13–20 K forx=0.4, 0.5, and 0.6, due to the interactions of Ni–Nd sublattices. Forx=0.8 this order begins to disappear because of the effect of the low spin state Ni3+created at the NiO4planes. Additionally, the reduced family Nd2−xSrxNiOy(y<4) shows the disappearance of Ni3+, the decrease of Ni2+with respect to the nonreduced form, and the appearance of Ni+. All the compounds of the reduced family show AF order at low temperature. |
