Cobalt and nickel induced ferromagnetism and metallicity in Ca[sub 1[minus]x]Sm[sub x]MnO[sub 3]: Influence upon colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) properties

Journal Article · · Materials Research Bulletin
The doping of Mn sites with Co and Ni was studied for Ca[sub 0.85]Sm[sub 0.15]MnO[sub 3] and Ca[sub 0.80]Sm[sub 0.20]MnO[sub 3] and compared with Cr doping in the same oxides. It is shown that the three dopants induce strong ferromagnetic interactions and metallicity in both manganites, and that they destroy CMR effect in Ca[sub 0.85]Sm[sub 0.15]MnO[sub 3] and induce CMR effect in Ca[sub 0.80]Sm[sub 0.20]MnO[sub 3]. The optimal doping level x for reaching the maximum resistivity ratio is larger for Cr (x = 0.08) than for Co and Ni (x = 0.06).
