Mössbauer Effect Probe of Local Jahn-Teller distortion in Fe-doped Colossal Magnetoresistive Manganites

چکیده
Local structure of the Fe-doped La1−xCaxMnO3 (x=0.00-1.00) compounds has been investigated by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy. 57Fe Mössbauer spectra provide a direct evidence of Jahn-Teller distortion in these manganites. On the basis of Mössbauer results, the Jahn-Teller coupling was estimated. It is noteworthy that Ca-concentration dependence of Jahn-Teller coupling strength is very consistent with the magnetic phase diagram. Our results reveal that Mössbauer spectroscopy can not only detect the local structural distortion, but also provide a technique to investigate Jahn-Teller coupling of Fe-doped La1−xCaxMnO3 colossal magnetoresistive perovskites.

Joint effect of lattice interaction and potential fluctuation in colossal magnetoresistive manganites
Taking into account both the Jahn-Teller lattice distortion and the on-site electronic potential fluctuations in the orbital-degenerated double-exchange model, in which both the core-spin and the lattice distortion are treated classically, we investigate theoretically the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in manganites by considering the electronic localization effect. An inverse matrix method i...
متن کاملUtilizing total scattering to study the Jahn-Teller transition in La1-xCaxMnO3
Total scattering based atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, with the advent of high data throughput neutron powder diffractometers, helps understanding the nature of the Jahn-Teller (JT) phase transition in La1-xCaxMnO3 colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) manganites. The JT distortion of the MnO6 octahedra, is long-range ordered in the orthorhombic (O) phase, but disappears in the pseu...
متن کاملThe Structure of Jahn-teller Polarons in the Colossal Magnetoresistive Manganites
The observation of large negative magnetoresistive effects has generated tremendous scientific and technical interest in the perovskite manganites and related materials. These phenomena are commonly classified under the heading “colossal magnetoresistance” (CMR) to distinguish them from magnetoresistive effects in metals and metal-multilayers. CMR effects are observed in conjunction with the fo...
متن کاملEffects of lattice distortion and Jahn–Teller coupling on the magnetoresistance of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 and La0.5Ca0.5CoO3 epitaxial films
Studies of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 epitaxial films on substrates with a range of lattice constants reveal two dominant contributions to the occurrence of colossal negative magnetoresistance (CMR) in these manganites: at high temperatures (T → TC , TC being the Curie temperature), the magnetotransport properties are predominantly determined by the conduction of lattice polarons, while at low temperatures...
متن کاملEffects of lattice distortion on the physical properties and surface morphology of magnetoresistive perovskite epitaxial films
The effects of lattice distortion on the physical properties of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 epitaxial films are investigated. Our results suggest that larger substrate-induced lattice distortion gives rise to larger zero-field resistivity and larger negative magnetoresistance. Similar effects are also observed in samples of different thicknesses and on the same substrate material, with larger resistivity an...
