We report a detailed study of the electric transport and magnetic properties of the La(5/8-y)Nd(y)Ca(3/8)MnO(3) manganite system. Substitution of La(3+) by smaller Nd(3+) ions reduces the mean ionic radius of the A-site ion. We have studied samples in the entire range between La-rich and Nd-rich compounds (0.1<y<0.625). Results of dc magnetization and resistivity show that doping destabilizes the ferromagnetic (FM) character of the pure La compound and triggers the formation of a phase-separated state at intermediate doping. We have also found evidence of a dynamical behaviour within the phase-separated state. A phase diagram is constructed, summarizing the effect of chemical substitution on the system.
我们报告了对La(5/8 - y)Nd(y)Ca(3/8)MnO₃锰氧化物体系的电输运和磁性的详细研究。用较小的Nd³⁺离子取代La³⁺会降低A位离子的平均离子半径。我们研究了富La化合物和富Nd化合物之间整个范围内的样品(0.1 < y < 0.625)。直流磁化和电阻率结果表明,掺杂会破坏纯La化合物的铁磁(FM)特性,并在中间掺杂时引发相分离态的形成。我们还发现了相分离态内动力学行为的证据。构建了一个相图,总结了化学取代对该体系的影响。
