Magnetic and Electric properties of La_{1-delta}MnO_{3}
1998
The magnetic phase diagram of $La_{1-\delta}MnO_{3}$ powdered samples have been studied as a function of $\delta $ in the low doping range. $La_{0.97}MnO_{3}$ has a canted magnetic structure at low temperature $(\theta \simeq 130\QTR{group}{{}^{\circ}})$. Above $T_{C}=118K$, it becomes a paramagnet with a huge effective magnetic moment, $\mu_{eff}=6.0\mu_{B}$, reflecting the presence of magnetoelastic polarons which are not affected by the magnetic field (up to 20T) nor the temperature $(1.2T_{C}polarons are still presen at high temperature, with a smaller size: $\mu_{eff}=5.8\mu_{B}$. The system becomes fully ferromagnetic below 170K but remains insulating down to the lowest temperature.
