Synthesis, structure, electrical and magnetic properties of the new non-stoichiometric perovskite phase, Ca2MnNbOγ

Abstract

The new phase Ca 2 MnNbO γ has an orthorhombic, GdFeO 3 structure with B site disorder of Mn and Nb. The oxygen content γ varies from 5.86 to 6.00 depending on heat treatment conditions. Treatment in high pressure O 2 required for full oxidation. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate mixed valence (2+, 3+) of Mn for γ=5.87 and Curie-Weiss paramagnetism at high temperatures. SQUID measurements indicate spin glass-like behaviour below 15 K. Ac impedance shows semiconducting behaviour, E=0.31(2) eV. On heating in O 2 -poor atmospheres, resistive surface layers and grain boundary effects are seen, which point to a p-type conduction mechanism.
