Title: Synthesis and characterization of Ca-doped LaMnAsO

Abstract

Here, we report on our attempt to hole-dope the antiferromagnetic semiconductor LaMnAsO by substitution of the La3+ site by Ca2+. We use neutron and x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, and transport techniques to characterize polycrystalline (La1–xCax)MnAsO samples prepared by solid-state reaction and find that the parent compound is highly resistant to substitution with an upper limit x ≤ 0.01. Magnetic susceptibility of the parent and the x = 0.002(xnom = 0.04) compounds indicate a negligible presence of magnetic impurities (i.e., MnO or MnAs). Rietveld analysis of neutron and x-ray diffraction data shows the preservation of both the tetragonal (P4/nmm) structure upon doping and the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature, TN = 355 ± 5 K.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: (Color online) Powder X-ray di raction patterns for nominally Ca - La substituted samples (La1–xCax) MnAsO as indicated. The patterns are shifted for clarity, and xnom refers to the nominal amount in the preparation, and and xEDS is the amount determined by EDS (from here on for consistencymore » we use EDS value). The curves below the data show the di er- ence between the best t and the data. The tick-marks at the bottom of the gure show the expected peaks of pure LaM- nAsO. The dashed vertical lines show the peak positions of prominent di raction peaks of MnO and MnAs as indicated.« less
