Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0(Physics, Applied)Nonmagnetic Al substitution effect on the stability of a ferromagnetic (FM) metallic state indouble-exchange manganite, LaSrMnO, was investigated by Lorentz transmission electronmicroscopy (TEM), in combination with magnetic measurements. Both FM transition temperature(Tc) and the rhombohedral-to-orthorhombic (R-to-O) transition temperature (Ts) decreased by a few percent of Al substitution. An in situ Lorentz TEM observation revealed that drastic change of the FM domain structure took place through the R-to-O structural transition. The magnetization decreased slightly at Ts and characteristic spin-glass state is realized in the low-temperature region below Ts.

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:84.49(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Doping effect on ferromagnetic (FM) properties in perovskite manganites LaSrMnO (x=0.175) were investigated by low-temperature Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in combination with the conventional magnetic measurements. It is found that LaSrMnAlO exhibits a structural phase transition from the rhombohedral to orthorhombic structures at Ts116 K. During the rhombohedral-to-orthorhombic transition, the FM domain structures changed from the macroscopic FM domains to the FM ones with the wavy stripe pattern. The ac magnetic measurements also revealed that LaSrMnAlO shows unconventional magnetic behaviour at low temperature below 65 K. Partial substitution of non-magnetic Al for Mn has some influence on magnetic ordering and double-exchange interaction, which should induce insulator behaviour in the orthorhombic phase.
