چکیده

For better understanding of the charge-transport mechanisms in perovskite manganites, along with colossal magnetoresistance ~CMR! materials, such as La12xSrxMnO3, we study systems with decreased content of Mn ions, such as single crystals of LaGa12xMnxO3 (0,x,0.5). The conductivity of all the systems in study can be described adequately with a nonadiabatic approximation of the hopping model with the values of the activation energy and resistivity coefficient strongly dependent on the concentration of Mn ions. Nonlinear voltage-current characteristics demonstrated switching to the low-resistivity state at high current density in LaGa12xMnxO3 crystals as well as in CMR films of low crystallinity. We explain the obtained results based on the small-polaron-hopping model, taking into account the heating processes and percolation effects.

Ordered states of Manganite and Dynamical mean-field theory

Pure LaMnO3 is an insulator. But, when doped with appropriate amount of doubly valenced impurities, it becomes a conductor retaining the ferromagnetism. Notion of double exchange has been devised to explain this phenomena. Along with this ferromagnetic conductivity, manganites show a variety of physical properties. Some of spin, charge, and orbital orderings are illustrated. Neutron scattering ...

An experimental and theoretical study on the physical properties of Al doped ZnO thin films

In this research, ZnO thin films with Al impurity as dopant were coated onto cleaned glass substrates by the spray pyrolysis technique. Crystal structure of the thin films was studied via XRD, and UV-vis spectroscopy was carried out to investigate their optical properties. Finally, in order to study the effect of Al impurity in ZnO thin films, the band structures of both pure and doped systems ...

In Situ XANES/XPS Investigation of Doped Manganese Perovskite Catalysts

Studying catalysts in situ is of high interest for understanding their surface structure and electronic states in operation. Herein, we present a study of epitaxial manganite perovskite thin films (Pr1−xCaxMnO3) active for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) from electro-catalytic water splitting. X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) at the Mn Land O K-edges, as well as X-ray photoem...

Resistive states in strontium titanate thin films: Bias effects and mechanisms at high and low temperature

A study on charge transport properties of thin film Fe-doped SrTiO3 epitaxially grown on Nb-doped SrTiO3 is reported. Electric measurements between 350 °C and 750 °C show a transition from predominant ionic to electronic conduction and lower conductivity of the thin films compared to the bulk of polycrystalline samples. Defect chemical changes at elevated temperature were investigated by applyi...

Conductivity Oscillations in Current-Induced Metastable States in Low-Doped Manganite Single Crystals

Deterministic oscillations of current-induced metastable resistivity in changing voltage have been detected in La0.82Ca0.18MnO3 single crystals. At low temperatures, below the Curie point, application of specific bias procedures switches the crystal into metastable resistivity state characterized by appearance of pronounced reproducible and random structures in the voltage dependence of the dif...
