A. Pena et al., Synthesis characterization and magnetic properties of the Ln(0.7)A(0.3)Mn(0.9)Fe(0.1)O(3) (Ln = La, Nd; A = Pb, Cd) manganites, J MAGN MAGN, 197, 1999, pp. 543-545
The Ln(0.7)A(0.3)Mn(0.9)Fe(0.1)O(3) (Ln = La, Nd; A = Pb, Cd) oxides have b
een synthesised using the sol-gel method. Magnetic measurements show that T
-c values decrease considerably when cadmium or iron are present and the ZF
C magnetization drops to zero at low temperatures. Values of magnetoresista
nce around 70% have been obtained. Powder EPR measurements showed that the
minimum peak-to-peak width is near to the critical temperature T-c in each
sample. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
