Abstract

The detailed evolution of the magnitude of the local Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion in La{sub 1-x}Ca{sub x}MnO{sub 3} is obtained across the phase diagram for 0{<=}x{<=}0.5 from high-quality neutron diffraction data using the atomic pair distribution function method. A local JT distortion is observed in the insulating phase for all Ca concentrations studied. However, in contrast with earlier local structure studies, its magnitude is not constant, but decreases continuously with increasing Ca content. This observation is at odds with a simple small-polaron picture for the insulating state.

Relation between giant volume magnetostriction, colossal magnetoresistance, and crystal lattice softening in manganites La{sub 1-x}A{sub y}MnO{sub 3} (A = Ca, Ag, Ba, Sr)

Koroleva, L. I., E-mail: koroleva@phys.msu.ru ; Demin, R. V. ; Kozlov, A. V. ; ... - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

Giant volume magnetostriction (GVM) is detected near the Curie temperature T{sub C} in La{sub 1-x}A{sub x}MnO{sub 3} single crystals (A = Ca, Sr, Ba, 0.1 {<=} x {<=} 0.3) and above T{sub C} in La{sub 1-x}Ag{sub y}MnO{sub 3} (x = y = 0.15, 0.2 and x = 0.2, y = 0.1) ceramics (in the latter system, giant volume magnetostriction attains a value of 6.5 x 10{sup -4} in a magnetic field of 8.2 kOe). The behavior of GVM and colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is found to be the same: both quantities have negative values, the temperature dependences of their absolute valuesmore »« less

Spin-lattice coupling, Jahn-Teller effect and the influence of the measurement rate in La{sub 0.7}Ca{sub 0.3−x}Sr{sub x}MnO{sub 3} manganites

Burrola-Gándara, L. A. ; Elizalde Galindo, J. T. ; Sáenz-Hernández, R. J. ; ... - AIP Advances

This work presents a study of how the magnetic and temperature variables, as well as the measurement rate, affect magnetic and structural phase transitions for La{sub 0.7}Ca{sub 0.3−x}Sr{sub x}MnO{sub 3} (x=0.15, 0.08, 0.07 and 0.06) manganites. A single phase rhombohedral crystal structure for Sr{sub 0.15} compound and a single phase orthorhombic crystal structure for Sr{sub 0.08}, Sr{sub 0.07}, and Sr{sub 0.06} compounds were identified by X ray diffraction. The Curie temperature adjustment to room temperature was reached for Sr{sub 0.07} sample, in which a Jahn-Teller transition was observed. This Jahn-Teller transition showed a susceptible response to 0.5, 1, 2, 3,more »« less

Mn K-edge XANES study of the La{sub 1-x}Ca{sub x}MnO{sub 3} colossal magnetoresistive manganites

Ignatov, A. Yu. ; Ali, N. ; Khalid, S. - Physical Review B

We report Mn K-edge x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) calculations of the La{sub 1-x}Ca{sub x}MnO{sub 3} manganites considering three pair correlations, according to the three fundamental degrees of freedom governing their unusual electronic properties, namely, the electronic structure of the unoccupied states probed by the Mn K-edge profile versus (i) local atomic distortions; (ii) local magnetic ordering; and (iii) the charge-transfer nature of the Mn-O bonds. The calculations are accompanied by Mn K-edge XANES measurements in the temperature range 30--300 K. The main features of the absorption edge can be qualitatively reproduced in terms of single-electron multiple-scattering calculations formore »« less

Non percolative nature of the metal-insulator transition and persistence of local Jahn-Teller distortions in the rhombohedral regime of La _1-xCa _xMnO ₃

Shatnawi, Mouath ; Bozin, Emil S. ; Mitchell, J. F. ; ... - Physical Review B

Evolution of the average and local crystal structure of Ca-doped LaMnO ₃ has been studied across the metal to insulator (MI) and the orthorhombic to rhombohedral (OR) structural phase transitions over a broad temperature range for two Ca concentrations (x = 0.18,0.22). Combined Rietveld and high real space resolution atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of neutron total scattering data was carried out with aims of exploring the possibility of nanoscale phase separation (PS) in relation to MI transition, and charting the evolution of local Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion of MnO ₆ octahedra across the OR transition at T _S~720 K.more »« less
