Glassy Behavior of La0.8Ca0.2MnO3 Nanoparticles
2011
Magnetic and transport properties of La0.8Ca0.2MnO3 nanoparticles with average size of 18 nm and Curie temperature T C≈231 K have been studied. Pronounced irreversibility of magnetization below T irr≈208 K has been observed. Studied particles have shown memory effects in zero-field-cooled and field-cooled magnetization. The resistivity has a semiconducting character at 150memory effects below the Curie temperature. The results suggest that superspin-glass features in ensembles of interacting 18 nm La0.8Ca0.2MnO3 particles appear along with superferromagnetic-like features.
