| Summary: | The colossal magnetoresistive of Lao.67Cao.33Mnl-x V x03 (LCMVO),
to x=O.30, ceramics have been studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show
single-phase perovskite structure with the presence of some minor impurities for
all the samples. The systems exhibit tetragonal and orthorhombic distorted
perovskite structures, which resulted from the Jahn Teller distortion. Paramagnetic
- Ferromagnetic phase transitions were observed in the X'-temperature curves for
all the samples. The Curie temperature, Tc shifts to lower temperature as
vanadium, dysprosium and zirconium doping increases respectively, which
indicate the loss of ferromagnetic order. Zirconium doping is observed to decrease
the Te more than the effect of other dopants. For LCMVO system, samples with
x=0.0l, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.30 show an enhancement of volume susceptibility as the
temperature increases from 110 K- 140 K, 120 K- 142 K, 123 K-140 K and 77 K-94
K respectively. These enhancements are due to the formation of magnetic clusters m the samples. For LCMDO system, all the samples show the typical
ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition and no spin glass behaviour was detected.
However, in LCMZO system, the samples with x>0.05 show ferromagnetic onset
followed by a cusp when cooling from room temperature. The anomalies were due
to the formation of spin glass in the sample. The transport properties show the
transition of semiconducting to metallic conductivity at T p. The existence of T p
and T c was found correlated. |
