Fe掺杂诱导双临界态锰氧化物电荷轨道有序演化

Fe-doping-induced evolution of charge-orbital ordering in a bicritical-state manganite

H. Sakai, K. Ito, R. Kumai, Y. Tokura

摘要:

用不同的过渡金属原子取代Mn原子,研究了杂质对处于金属-绝缘体转变边缘的双临界锰氧化物(La_(0.7)Pr_(0.3))Ca_(0.35)MnO_3铁磁金属态稳定性的影响。其中,Fe掺杂表现出显著降低铁磁转变温度的特殊能力。对Fe掺杂晶体的磁输运性质和X射线衍射的系统研究表明,电荷轨道有序演化到低温,这强烈抑制了铁磁金属态。所观察到的玻璃态的磁性和输运性质以及扩散相变可以归因于相分离状态,其中短程电荷轨道有序的团簇嵌入在铁磁性金属基质中。Fe掺杂锰氧化物的这种行为与Cr掺杂对电荷轨道有序锰氧化物的影响形成了鲜明的对比,称为杂质诱导的电荷轨道有序崩溃。

英文摘要:

Impurity effects on the stability of a ferromagnetic metallic state in a bicritical-state manganite, (La0.7Pr0.3)0.65Ca0.35MnO3, on the verge of metal-insulator transition have been investigated by substituting a variety of transition-metal atoms for Mn ones. Among them, Fe doping exhibits the exceptional ability to dramatically decrease the ferromagnetic transition temperature. Systematic studies on the magnetotransport properties and x-ray diffraction for the Fe-doped crystals have revealed that charge-orbital ordering evolves down to low temperatures, which strongly suppresses the ferromagnetic metallic state. The observed glassy magnetic and transport properties as well as diffuse phase transition can be attributed to the phase-separated state where short-range charge-orbital-ordered clusters are embedded in the ferromagnetic metallic matrix. Such a behavior in the Fe-doped manganites form a marked contrast to the Cr-doping effects on charge-orbital-ordered manganites known as impurity-induced collapse of charge-orbital ordering.
