采用传统的固相反应法制备了La0.5-xNdxSr0.5CoO3(x=0,0.1,0.15)多晶样品,并通过磁化强度与温度的变化曲线(M-T曲线)和磁化强度与外场的变化曲线(M-H曲线)对其磁性进行了研究。研究结果表明,随着温度的降低三个样品的磁性都先后经历了顺磁、铁磁和反铁磁转变。掺杂量x的增加使得系统的居里外斯温度逐步上升(θ_(x=0)≈215 K;θx=0.1≈226 K;θx=0.15≈242 K),这表明Nd3+掺杂使系统内部的铁磁耦合增强。通过对磁化率倒数与温度的变化曲线的拟合,发现三个样品都出现了向上背离居里外斯定律的现象,这种背离是由于系统内部反铁磁相互竞争所致。因此,三个样品均不具有类Griffiths相。另外,通过对高温部分的实验测量与理论计算发现,Co4+的自旋态随着掺杂量x的增加逐渐由低自旋态向中间自旋态过渡。
The polycrystalline samples of doped perovskite cobalt oxides La0.5 - x NdxSr0.5 CoO3 ( x = 0, 0.1, 0.15 ) have been prepared by solid state reaction method. Magnetic properties of these samples were investigated by measuring the magnet- ization- temperature (M -T) and magnetization- field (M -H ) curves. Experimental resuhs show that paramagnetic (PM), ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions successively occur with decreasing temperatures in these samples. The Curie temperature gradually increase with doping concentration x(θ_(x=0)≈215 K;θ_(x=0.1)≈226 K;θ_(x=0.15)≈242 K), which suggests that doped Nd3+ ions enhance ferromagnetic couplings in such systems. The temperature dependence curves of the inverse susceptibility (X- l _ T) deviate upward from the Curie -Weiss Law, which implies the susceptibility de- creases to be smaller than the pure paramagnetic value and Griffiths -like phase is therefore not observed these systems. We argue that the absence of Griffiths - like phase is probably due to the presence of antiferromagnetic interactions. In addition, from experimental measurements and theoretical calculations in high temperature region, it is revealed that the Co4+ ions trans- form from a low- spin (LS) to intermediate- spin (IS) state upon increasing doping concentration x.
