Structure, spin glass, and spin state in perovskite GdCo/sub 1-x/Mn/sub x/O/sub 3/ (x /spl les/ 0.5)
Abstract
Perovskite GdCo/sub 1-x/Mn/sub x/O/sub 3/ (x=0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5) compounds have been prepared by solid-state reaction. Structures were characterized using X-ray diffraction and Rietveld Refinement method. The compounds crystallized in orthorhombic with Plmn space group. Crystal lattices decreased with the increase of Mn doping level. DC magnetization and ac susceptibility were studied over a wide temperature range and different frequencies. A typical spin glass state was observed in all samples around the same temperature of 122 K where the compounds turned from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic states. For x
