Transport properties of La 1 − xCaxMnO 3 ( 0 . 5 ≤ x < 1 )
نویسنده
چکیده
The transport properties of the La1−xCaxMnO3 (0.5 ≤ x < 1) system in magnetic fields up to 14 T were studied. We found that the relationship between the charge ordering temperature TCO and Mn content nMn4+ obeys the formula TCO/Tmax = 1−a(nMn4+ −n0), here n0 and a are constants and Tmax is the maximum of TCO. For x = 0.65, TCO arrives at the maximum value of 249.5 K in zero magnetic field, while the charge ordered (CO) state is most stable around x = 0.75. For x = 0.5 when H < 6 T the resistivity displays Mott’s variable-range hopping (VRH) behavior, when 6 < H < 12 T it is suggested that two kinds of conduction mechanism, i.e., VRH and magnetic polarons, coexist in the material, and when H > 12 T the resistivity shows metallic-like behavior and the transport mechanism is attributed to coexistence of magnetic polarons and free carriers. For x = 0.95, the conduction mechanism accords with the coexistence of VRH and magnetic polarons.

The magnetic, transport and magnetoresistive properties of La1−xCaxMnO3 (x ≈ 0.33) crystals prepared by the floating-zone method are studied. In general, these properties testify to rather good crystal perfection of the sample studied. In particular, a huge magnetoresistance ([R(0)−R(H)]/R(H) in the field H = 5 T is about ≈ 2680 %) is found near the Curie temperature (216 K). At the same time, ...

The influence of Gd doping at La-site on the electrical transport properties and the colossal magnetoresistance of La0.7−xGdxSr0.3MnO3 (x = 0.00, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, and 0.70) is studied. The experimental results indicate that the transport properties exhibit abnormal behavior under high doping condition. For x = 0.50, we find that a transition from metal to insulator occu...

4. pA(λ) def = det(λI−A), a polynomial of degree n, is called the characteristic polynomial of A. The following is a list of properties straightforwardly from Definition 2.1. 1. λ is A’s eigenvalue ⇔ λI −A is singular ⇔ det(λI −A) = 0 ⇔ pA(λ) = 0. 2. There is at least one eigenvector x associated with A’s eigenvalue λ; in the other word, the dimension dim(LA,λ) ≥ 1. 3. LA,λ is a linear subspace...

Effect of double exchange and diagonal disorder on the magnetic and transport properties of La 1−x Sr x MnO 3. Abstract We use a model previously formulated based on the double exchange mechanism and diagonal disorder to calculate magnetization and conductivity for La 1−x Sr x MnO 3 type crystals as a function of temperature. The model represents each Mn 4+ ion by a spin S=1/2, on which an elec...
