Chemical pressure effect on magnetic properties in electron-doped perovskite manganites (Gd{sub 0.08}Ca{sub y}Sr{sub 0.92-y})MnO{sub 3} (0<y<1): Percolation transition of ferromagnetic clusters
Abstract
The magnetic properties of electron-doped perovskite manganites, (Gd{sub x}Ca{sub y}Sr{sub 1-x-y})MnO{sub 3} (x=0.08 and 0.05, 0.1{<=}y<1), were investigated as a function of the average ionic radius of the A-site cations (i.e., Gd, Ca and Sr), <r{sub A}>using polycrystalline samples. For the samples with x=0.08, as y increased from 0, the low temperature phase changed from an antiferromagnetic insulator (AFI) to a ferromagnetic metal (FM) at y{approx}0.35 which corresponds to <r{sub A}>=1.25 A. The magnitude of the Neel temperature was found to correlate with the bandwidth of the Mn-3d band. On the other hand, for the samples with y>0.5, a small saturation magnetization suggested the coexistence of the FM and AFI phase; in other words, magnetic phase separation occurred below the Curie temperature ({approx}120 K). A scaling analysis of the resistivity of (Gd{sub 0.08}Ca{sub y}Sr{sub 0.92-y})MnO{sub 3} indicated that a percolation transition between FM clusters was induced by the decrease in <r{sub A}>.
