Structural, magnetic, magnetocaloric, and electrical properties are reported for mixed-valence manganite La 0.67 Pb 0.13 Na 0.2 MnO 3 . X-ray diffraction reveals that the sample crystallizes in the rhombohedric structure with the R-3c space group. The magnetic properties of the polycrystalline La 0.67 Pb 0.13 Na 0.2 MnO 3 compound are discussed in detail, based on the susceptibility, magnetization, and isotherm. The sample presents a ferromagnetic property with T C = 275 K and a Griffiths phase at T G = 325 K which gives the existence of ferromagnetic clusters in the paramagnetic domain. A large deviation is usually observed between field cooled (FC) and zero field cooled (ZFC). M(T ) is a low temperature below the blocking temperature. At 40 K, a spin-glass or a cluster-glass state is seen to arise from a ferromagnetic state. This is caused by the competition between the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interactions. The electrical properties show the presence of a metal-semiconductor transition at T M−Sc . To understand the dependence of disorder with the transport mechanism, we used the phenomenological equation for Ahmed Dhahri jemai 2000@outlook.fr 1 Laboratoire de la matière condensée et des nanosciences, resistivity under a percolation approach, which is dependent on the phase segregation of a paramagnetic semiconductor and ferromagnetic metallic regions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
