The magnetizations （ZFC, FC and initial magnetization） of the polycrystalline La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 were measured with superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer. The scaling theory was employed to study the changes of critical behavior arising from the applied external field. The critical parameter β decreases with increasing the external magnetic field results in an increase in the magnitude of ferromagnetic ordering.展开更多

Using transitional metal elements on the lanthanum base perovskites, properties could be tuned by doping the structure. Thermogravimetric analysis（TGA） evidenced a temperature of 350 °C as the start point of the perovskite-phase formation. Scanning electron microscopy（SEM） images showed the microstructure changes（grain size） of the cobalt-doped perovskite due to composition. In addition, it was shown that magnetic properties of the samples were dependent of cobalt content; experimental results pointed to the existence of disordered spins interactions, which were more evident with the decrease of cobalt content and the existence of ferromagnetic coupling among spins of the samples. These results showed the feasibility of producing a family of compounds with the desired properties, manipulating composition and therefore the microstructure.展开更多
