$La_{0.7}Ca_{0.3}MnO_3$ samples were prepared in nano- and polycrystalline forms by sol-gel and solid state reaction methods, respectively, and structurally characterized by synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The magnetic properties determined by ac susceptibility and dc magnetization measurements are discussed. The magnetocaloric effect in this nanocrystalline manganite is spread over a broader temperature interval than in the polycrystalline case. The relative cooling power of the poly- and nanocrystalline manganites is used to evaluate a possible application for magnetic cooling below room temperature.

THz时域光谱用于直接探测电荷有序锰氧化物Pr $_{0.7}$ Ca $_{0.3}$ MnO $_3$的低能(0.5- 5 meV)电动力学。我们揭示了存在一个有限的峰值结构约2- 3 meV远低于电荷间隙$\sim300$ meV。在类比的低能量光学性能的低维材料,我们归因于这种观察到的结构所产生的电荷密度波凝聚的集体激发模式。这一发现提供了重要作用的准一维性质的电荷和轨道有序的Pr $_{0.7}$ Ca $_{0.3}$ MnO $_3$。
We present the results of a comparative analysis of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in Pr0.7Sr0.2Ca0.1MnO3, through direct and indirect measurements, using experimentally measured magnetization, specific heat, magnetostriction, resistivity, thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity parameters. We have demonstrated that the change in each parameter in response to a magnetic field near the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition temperature of the material correlates with the change in magnetic entropy. These findings allow us to interrelate these parameters and provide an alternative, ef…
We report a comprehensive investigation of La0.2Pr0.4Ca0.4MnO3 to clarify the micrometre scale phase separation phenomenon in the mixed valent manganite (La,Pr,Ca)MnO3. The compound shows multiple magnetic transitions, in which the charge-ordered state is converted into a ferromagnetic state in steps with the application of a magnetic field. The ac susceptibility measurements show that the glassy transition at low temperatures does not depend on the frequency, thus indicating the absence of any spin glass behaviour. Magnetization as well as heat capacity measurements indicate that this low tem…
We report a pervasive phenomenon of gradual emergence of negative magnetization in typical $R_{1-x}D_x$MnO$_3$ orthorhombic perovskite manganites in nano form (with $R^{3+}$ being a trivalent high-magnetic-moment ion from the heavier rare-earth elements Gd, Tb, Dy and $D^{2+}$ refers to divalent alkaline elements Sr, Ca, etc.), while the bulk form manifests no negative magnetization. Extensive magnetization studies have been carried out in Gd$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$MnO$_3$ manganites around half doping. We demonstrate experimentally that particle size reduction in nano-form manganites enhances the prope…
X-ray absorption spectroscopy study of the electronic and magnetic proximity effects in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$/La$_{2/3}$Ca$_{1/3}$MnO$_3$ and La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$/La$_{2/3}$Ca$_{1/3}$MnO$_3$ multilayers
Despite extensive researches on manganites owing to widespread use in modern electronics, this class of metal oxides does not cease to surprise with its unique properties and new phenomena. Here we have studied structural and magnetic properties of non-Heisenberg manganite nanoparticles with a strong spin-electron coupling. During transition from low temperature ferromagnetic to high temperature paramagnetic state, the change in charge, valence and spin (magnetic moment) with the localization of eg-electrons on the manganese ions have been detected. With decrease in a temperature, the overstat…

相分离的钙钛矿锰氧化物具有具有不同晶体结构、磁性和电子性质的竞争相。因此,应变效应在决定锰氧化物薄膜的磁性方面起着关键作用。本文报道了各向异性应力对相分离锰氧化物(La $_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$)$_{0.67}$ Ca $_{0.33}$ MnO $_{3}$磁性的影响。在面内各向异性应力下在(110)NdGaOPDMATHABMQ衬底上生长的($_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$)$_{0.67}$ Ca $_{0.33}$ MnO $_{3}$薄膜显示出面内磁各向异性和单畴到多畴转变随温度的变化。角度相关的磁化测量也表明,磁化反转发生主要是通过成核$&$传播机制。通过与在(001)SrLaGaOPDMATHABMS衬底上生长的($_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$)$_{0.67}$ $_{0.33}$ MnO $_{3}$薄膜的比较,证实了磁各向异性主要是由衬底诱导的各向异性应力引起的。我们的研究结果提出了在纳米磁性介质中存储磁信息的新途径。

Magnetic ground state, critical analysis of magnetization, and large magnetocaloric effect in the ferromagnetically coupled kagome lattice YCa$_3$(MnO)$_3$(BO$_3$)$_4$
Perovskite manganite La0.5Ca0.5-x xMnO3 (LCMO) nanomaterials were elaborated using the sucrose modified auto combustion method. Rietveld refinements of the X-ray diffraction patterns of the crystalline structure confirm a single-phase orthorhombic state with Pbnm space group (No. 62). The Ca-vacancies were voluntarily created in the LCMO structure in order to study their influence on the magnetic behaviour in the system. The magnetic susceptibility was found to be highly enhanced in the sample with Ca-vacancies. Paramagnetic-to-ferromagnetic phase transition was evidenced in both samples aroun…
The Structural and Magnetic ordering in $La{}_{0.5-x}Nd_{x}Ca_{0.5}MnO_{3}$ (0.1 \ensuremath{\le} x \ensuremath{\le} 0.5) Manganites
用磁化强度、电阻率、透射电子显微镜和中子衍射技术研究了多晶$La{}_{0.5-x}Nd{}_{x}Ca_{0.5}MnO{}_{3}$(0.0 \ensuremath{\le} x \ensuremath{\le} 0.5)样品的晶体和磁性结构。样品具有正交结构,空间群为\textit{Pnma}。随着温度的降低,样品呈现出CE型反铁磁结构,同时存在弱的铁磁有序.铁磁相的生长削弱了电荷和轨道有序的反铁磁相。低温下Nd掺杂引起的结构畸变和磁结构的演化与A位无序($σ^{2}$)有很强的相关性。
Magnetocaloric properties of an inhomogeneous magnetic system of a 7.6 nm La${}_{0.7}$Sr${}_{0.3}$MnO${}_{3}$ consisting of superparamagnetic (SPM) with blocking temperature ( $T_B$ = 240 K) and ferromagnetic (FM) phases ( $T_C$ = 290 K) is studied by dc magnetization measurements. Isothermal magnetization versus applied magnetic field is carried out from 100 K to 320 K in magnetic fields up to 4 kOe to determine changes in the magnetic entropy ($-ΔS_M$) and the relative cooling power (RCP). Due to the co-existence of SPM and FM phases, there are two peaks in the temperature dependence of$-ΔS_…
Colossal enhancement of magnetoresistance in La$_{0.67}$Sr$_{0.33}$MnO$_{3}$ / Pr$_{0.67}$Ca$_{0.33}$MnO$_{3}$ multilayers: reproducing the phase-separation scenario
Detailed investigations of structural, magnetic and electronic transport properties of hole-doped high-entropy rare-earth manganites are presented. The high-entropy samples (LaNdPrSmEu)$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$MnO$_3$ (0$\leq$\textit{x}$\leq$0.5), synthesized using the solid-state technique, show a change in the crystal structure from \textit{Pbnm} to \textit{R-3c} with increasing Sr substitution, attributed to the change in the tolerance factor. Prominent ferromagnetic ordering is observed in the sample with a rhombohedral structure (\textit{x}$\geq$0.3), originating from the dominant double exchange me…
