Effect of diamagnetic dilution on spin dynamics in manganites (in Russian)
Abstract
In the magnetically diluted LaMnxGa1-xO3 single crystals, the EPR spectra of the Mn ions (at 0.02 <= x <= 1), as well as NMR and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation of 69Ga and 71Ga nuclei have been investigated. The analysis of the EPR spectra enabled one to follow the exchange narrowing effect to the point of appearance of a single Lorentzian line at x >= 0.2. The transition from the antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic type of spin ordering is confirmed under condition of the diamagnetic dilution with Ga, starting from x = 0.8. At x = 0.1, unusual broadening and splitting of the EPR spectrum are found upon cooling; this can be assigned to the effect of thermally activated internal motion with characteristic energy Ea of about 50 meV. The study of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation was performed in the temperature range of 190-390 K. The obtained data support the existence of the internal motion with the same value of Ea . This motion can be attributed to thermally activated re-orientations of the eg electron orbitals of the Mn3+ ions subjected to the Jahn-Teller effect.
