Abstract
It was found that solid solutions Ln(1-x)Nd(x)TiO(3) (Ln = Ce and Pr) with an orthorhombic perovskite structure exhibited a characteristic s uspectibility peak phenomenon in their susceptibility-temperature (chi -T) curves, similar to that for La1-xSmxTiO3 reported previously. Howe ver, it was observed only in a region in which x was higher (0.5 less than or equal to x) than in the latter system (0 < x < 0.3). Only in P rTiO3 and Pr0.75Nd0.25TiO3 were remarkably asymmetric magnetization-fi eld (M-H) curves observed at low temperatures. This suggests the exist ence of metamagnetic or spin-flop type extremely slow relaxation proce sses in Pr1-xNdxTiO3. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
