Abstract
A study of Nd0.6Ca0.4MnO3 shows that the application of a magnetic fie ld at 4.2 K induces a transition from the insulating antiferromagnetic state to the conducting ferromagnetic state, which is accompanied by a decrease in the sample volume by 0.1%. The replacement of Nd ions by Bi ions leads to stabilization of the antiferromagnetic state, while the substitution of Sm and Eu ions results in manifestation of propert ies typical of spin glasses.
