摘要:

用中子衍射技术研究了高压(0 ~ 8 GPa)对La_(0.5)Ca_(0.5-x)Sr_xMnO_3(0.1 -< x -< 0.4)锰氧化物多晶样品在5 K下磁结构的影响。在这些化合物中,发现施加压力可以改变在环境条件下观察到的先前报道的磁性结构[I]。Dhiman等人,B 77,094440(2008)]。在x = 0.1的组分中,在4.6(2)GPa及更高的压力下,发现A型反铁磁结构与CE型反铁磁相共存,在常压下观察到,TN ~ 150 K。对于x = 0.3的样品,作为压力的函数,CE型相在2.3(1)GPa下被完全抑制,并且A型反铁磁相是有利的。当x = 0.4时,当T < TN(~ 250 K)时,在常压下观察到A型反铁磁相。该相保留在所研究的压力范围内。然而,磁矩随着压力的增加而逐渐减小,表明A型反铁磁相被抑制。本研究揭示了半掺杂锰氧化物中CE型反铁磁态的脆弱性与压力和无序度σ2的函数关系。我们观察到使CE型反铁磁态失稳所需的压力随着无序度σ2的增加而减小。外压和改变A位离子半径对磁结构有类似的影响。

英文摘要:

The effect of high pressure (0 - 8 GPa) on the magnetic structure of polycrystalline samples of La0.5Ca0.5-xSrxMnO3 (0.1 -< x -< 0.4) manganites at 5 K is investigated using neutron diffraction technique. Application of pressure is found to modify the previously reported magnetic structure, observed under ambient conditions, in these compounds [I. Dhiman et al., Phys. Rev. B 77, 094440 (2008)]. In x = 0.1 composition, at 4.6(2) GPa and beyond, A-type antiferromagnetic structure is found to coexist with CE-type antiferromagnetic phase, observed at ambient pressure, with TN ~ 150 K. For x = 0.3 sample, as a function of pressure the CE-type phase is fully suppressed at 2.3(1) GPa and A-type antiferromagnetic phase is favored. Further Sr doping at x = 0.4, the A-type antiferromagnetic phase is observed at ambient pressure and for T < TN (~ 250K). This phase is retained in the studied pressure range. However, the magnetic moment progressively reduces with increasing pressure, indicating the suppression of A-type antiferromagnetic phase. The present study brings out the fragile nature of the CE-type antiferromagnetic state in half doped manganites as a function of pressure and disorder σ2. We observe that pressure required for destabilizing the CE-type antiferromagnetic state is reduced with increasing disorder σ2. External pressure and changing A-site ionic radii have analogous effect on the magnetic structure.
