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)

Journal Article 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

Journal Article 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

Volume contraction and resistivity drop at the Jahn-Teller transition in La{sub 1-x}Ca{sub x}MnO{sub 3}

Journal Article Chatterji, Tapan ; Riley, D. ; Fauth, F. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We have investigated the Jahn-Teller transition accompanied by orbital order-disorder transition in La{sub 1-x}Ca{sub x}MnO{sub 3} by high temperature x-ray powder diffraction with synchrotron radiation and resistivity measurements. The unit cell volume of LaMnO{sub 3} decreases with increasing temperature in a narrow temperature range below T{sub JT}{approx_equal}750 K and then undergoes a volume collapse at T{sub JT}. The transition is first order. Similar behavior is also obtained in Ca-doped La{sub 1-x}Ca{sub x}MnO{sub 3} for x=0.025 and 0.075. The amount of volume collapse, however, decreases with the doping and also the first order discontinuous transition crosses over to a quasi-continuous transitionmore »« less

Radiation damage effects on transport and colossal magnetoresistance in La{sub (1{minus}x)}Ca{sub x}MnO{sub 3}

Journal Article Naugle, D.G. ; Rathnayaka, K.D.D. ; Belevtsev, B.I. - International Journal of Modern Physics B

The effects of crystal lattice disorder induced by irradiation of La-Ca-Mn-O films are reviewed. These experiments provide insight into the anomalous transport properties and colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) of these perovskites. Electron irradiation produces only slight lattice damage, about 10{sup {minus}5} displacements per atom (dpa) which would be imperceptible in an ordinary bad metal or activated semiconductor but gives large changes in resistance that illustrate the exotic nature of transport in both the metallic and insulating phases of the CMR films. Ion irradiation produces damage ranging from 5 x 10{sup {minus}3} dpa to 2.4 x 10{sup {minus}2} dpa which provides amore »« less

Low field colossal anisotropic magnetoresistance in spatially confined electronically phase separated La{sub 0.3}Pr{sub 0.4}Ca{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} microbridges

Journal Article Jeon, J., E-mail: jaechun1@ualberta.ca ; Alagoz, H. S. ; Jung, J., E-mail: jjung@ualberta.ca ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Colossal in-plane anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of >16 000% has been engineered in spatially confined La{sub 0.3}Pr{sub 0.4}Ca{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} films. Recalling that typical AMR values in films are only a few percent, these results mark an astonishing increase that might potentially lead to fabrication of manganite-based switching and sensor devices. The unique colossal behavior is discussed within the context of anisotropic domain growth.
