Io. Troyanchuk et al., MAGNETIC PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN THE BISMUTH-CONTAINING MANGANITES WITH PEROVSKITE STRUCTURE, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 8(50), 1996, pp. 11205-11212
The magnetic properties of solid solutions based on lanthanum and bism
uth manganites were investigated. It is established that the substitut
ion of La3+ ions by Bi3+ ones causes the transition from the ferromagn
etic to the antiferromagnetic state while BiMnO3 is a ferromagnet. The
results are explained in terms of the superexchange interaction via a
nions and local distortions of the crystal structure.
