Y. Moritomo et al., LAYERED-TYPE ANTIFERROMAGNETIC STATE IN DOUBLE-LAYERED MANGANITES - (LA1-ZNDZ)(2-2X)SR1+2XMN2O7, Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 67(2), 1998, pp. 405-408
Anisotropic magnetic and transport properties have been investigated f
or single crystals of layered-perovskite manganites (La1-zNdz)(2-2x)Sr
1+2xMn2O7 as a function of then doping level x and averaged ionic radi
us z of the rare-earth ion. The ferromagnetic metallic (FM) state obse
rved in La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 (x = 0.4; z = 0.0) disappears with increasing
x or z, and the ground state is replaced by a layered antiferromagneti
c (layered-AF) state beyond x similar to 0.5. Thus obtained phase diag
ram is discussed in terms of variation of the e(g)-band structure with
the band-filling (= 1 - x).
