Schottky specific heat of the lightly Mn-substituted electron-doped SrTiO3

Magnetization in electron- and Mn- doped SrTiO3

Mn-doped SrTiO(3.0), when synthesized free of impurities, is a paramagnetic insulator with interesting dielectric properties. Since delocalized charge carriers are known to promote ferromagnetism in a large number of systems via diverse mechanisms, we have looked for the possibility of any intrinsic, spontaneous magnetization by simultaneous doping of Mn ions and electrons into SrTiO3 via oxyge...

Photoemission study of the metallic state of lightly electron-doped SrTiO3

The behavior of the metallic state of lightly electron-doped SrTiO3 has been studied using angle-integrated ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Two states in the bulk band gap of stoichiometric SrTiO3 are shown by doping electron carriers: a metallic state with a sharp Fermi cutoff and a broad state centered at 1.3 eV below the Fer...

Crystal-field level inversion in lightly Mn-doped Sr3Ru2O7.

Sr3(Ru(1-x)Mnx)2O7, in which 4d-Ru is substituted by the more localized 3d-Mn, is studied by x-ray dichroism and spin-resolved density functional theory. We find that Mn impurities do not exhibit the same 4+ valence of Ru, but act as 3+ acceptors; the extra eg electron occupies the in-plane 3d(x2-y2) orbital instead of the expected out-of-plane 3d(3z2-r2). We propose that the 3d-4d interplay, v...

Strong energy-momentum dispersion of phonon-dressed carriers in the lightly doped band insulator SrTiO3

Much progress has been made recently in the study of the effects of electron-phonon (el-ph) coupling in doped insulators using angle resolved photoemission (ARPES), yielding evidence for the dominant role of el-ph interactions in underdoped cuprates. As these studies have been limited to doped Mott insulators, the important question arises how this compares with doped band insulators where simi...
