25 Jul 2005 | Subject: | Strongly Correlated Electrons | cond-mat.str-el | Abstract: | We present results of our study of polarized Raman scattering and infrared reflectivity of rhombohedral ceramic La_1-ySr_yMn_1-xM_xO_3 manganites in the temperature range between 77K and 320K. In our samples, a part of the Mn atoms is substituted by M = Cr, Co, Cu, Zn, Sc or Ga with x in the range 0 -- 0.1. The hole concentration was kept at the optimal value of about 32% by tuning the Sr content y. We have monitored the distortions of the oxygen sublattice by the presence of broad bands in the Raman spectra, the increase of d.c. resistivity extracted from the infrared reflectivity, and the change of the critical temperature of the ferromagnetic transition. Our results support the idea, that these properties are mainly determined by the radius of the substituent ion, its electronic and magnetic structure playing only a minor role. Furthermore, the Raman spectra exhibit an additional A_g-like high frequency mode attributed to the local breathing vibration of oxygens surrounding the substituent ion. Its frequency and intensity strongly depends on the type of the substituent. In the Co-substituted sample, the mode anomalously softens when going from 300K to 77K. The frequency of the bulk A_{1g} mode depends linearly on the angle of the rhombohedral distortion. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0507568 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
