Title: Evolution of the spin-state transition with doping in La₁₋_xSr_xCoO₃

Abstract

The thermally induced spin-state transition of Co³⁺ ions in the cobaltite LaCoO₃, found at temperatures in the range 40 to 120 K, has been the subject of extensive experimental and theoretical investigation. Much less is known about what happens to the spin-state transition in hole-doped La₁₋_xSr_xCoO₃ (LSCO). The present ¹³⁹La NMR experiments show that spin-state transitions persist in nanoscale hole-poor regions of the inhomogeneous doped material. In fact, thermally induced spin-state transitions remain important for doping levels close to the metal-insulator critical concentration of x_C=0.17. This finding suggests that the unusual glassy behavior seen in doped LSCO for x<0.18 results from the interplay of spin-state transitions in hole-poor regions and ferromagnetism in hole-rich regions.

Evolution of the spin state transition with doping in La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 3}.

Magnetic and transport properties of the system La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 3-{delta}} (0 < x {le} 0.50)

Journal Article Senaris-Rodriguez, M A ; Goodenough, J B - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Magnetic and transport measurements on the system La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x} CoO{sub 3-{delta}}(0 < x {le} 0.50, {delta} = 0 for 0 {le} x < 0.30, and {delta} (x) {le} 0.06 for 0.30 {le} x {le} 0.50) have led to a phase diagram for this system. Upon Sr doping, the material segregates into hole-rich, metallic ferromagnetic regions and a hole-poor matrix similar to LaCoO{sub 3}. The Co ions of the ferromagnetic phase are in intermediate-spin configurations; the hole-poor matrix experiences a thermally induced low-spin to high-spin transition. For low Sr doping (x < 0.20), the hole-rich regions are isolated from onemore »« less

Direct measurement of the low temperature spin state transitions in La{sub 1−x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 3} (0.05 < x < 0.3)

Journal Article Gulec, A. ; Klie, R. F. - Journal of Applied Physics

Sr-doped LaCoO{sub 3} has a complex magnetic phase diagram, which is believed to be directly correlated to changes in the crystal structure and ordering of the Co{sup 3+} spin states. In this work, we study the low temperature Co{sup 3+}-ion spin state transitions in Sr-doped LaCoO{sub 3} around the critical doping concentration where a metal to insulator transition has been observed using electron energy-loss spectroscopy of the O K-edge combined with the Co L-edge fine structure. We measure the local spin state of the Co{sup 3+}-ions and we demonstrate that the Co{sup 3+} spin-state transition only occurs in La{sub 0.95}Sr{submore »« less

Nanomagnetic Droplets and Implications to Orbital Ordering in La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 3}

Journal Article Phelan, D ; Louca, Despina ; Lee, S -H ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Inelastic cold-neutron scattering on LaCoO{sub 3} provided evidence for a distinct low energy excitation at 0.6 meV coincident with the thermally induced magnetic transition. Coexisting strong ferromagnetic (FM) and weaker antiferromagnetic correlations that are dynamic follow the activation to the excited state, identified as the intermediate S=1 spin triplet. This is indicative of dynamical orbital ordering favoring the observed magnetic interactions. With hole doping as in La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 3}, the FM correlations between Co spins become static and isotropically distributed due to the formation of FM droplets. The correlation length and condensation temperature of these droplets increase rapidly withmore »« less

Structural, magnetic, and transport properties of the single-layered perovskites La{sub 2-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 4} (x=1.0-1.4)

Journal Article Chichev, A V ; Institute of Physics of ASCR, Cukrovarnicka 10, 162 53 Prague 6 ; Dlouha, M ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

The layered cobaltites La{sub 2-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 4} have been complexly studied over the range of mixed Co{sup 3+/4+} valency and their properties discussed in comparison with cubic perovskites La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}CoO{sub 3}. The sample x=1.0 exhibits a paramagnetic ground state based on the intermediate spin state of Co{sup 3+} and undergoes a broad resistivity transition at 400-900 K, associated with diffusive changes of magnetic susceptibility and volume expansion. The Co{sup 4+} doping in samples with x>1 induces gradually ferromagnetism and leads to a dramatic decrease of resistivity and thermopower, though the metallicity is not achieved.
