AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of a manganite system called La(1-x)Na(x)Mn(1-y)Ru(y)O(3+delta) with specific compositions of sodium (Na) and ruthenium (Ru).
- Various characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction and electrical measurements, reveal how changes in ruthenium doping and oxygen content affect the material's properties.
- The research finds that ruthenium doping enhances the electrical and magnetic characteristics, particularly increasing the Curie temperature (T(C)) and magnetoresistance, especially in the specific sample with x = 0.05 and y = 0.05, which shows a 60% magnetoresistance at
Article Abstract
In this work, we report a structural, electrical, and magnetic characterization of the La(1-x)Na(x)Mn(1-y)Ru(y)O(3+delta) (LNMRO) system with x = 0.05 and 0.15 and y = 0, 0.05, and 0.15, also comprising an investigation of the role of the oxygen content on the related redox properties. The experimental investigation has been realized with the aid of X-ray powder diffraction, electron microprobe analysis, thermogravimetry, electrical resistivity and magnetization measurements, and electron paramagnetic resonance. We demonstrate that the effect of ruthenium doping on the studied LNMRO compounds is not only directly related to the Ru/Mn substitution and to the Ru oxidation state but also indirectly connected to the oxygen content in the sample. Our data show that ruthenium addition can "improve" electrical and magnetic properties of nonoptimally (low) cation-doped manganites, causing an increase of the T(C) value and the insurgence of magnetoresistance effect, as observed for the x = 0.05 and y = 0.05 sample (MR congruent with 60% at 7 T and at approximately 260 K).
