Mn site is substituted with closed shell ions (Al, Ga. Ti, Zr and a certain combination of Zr and Al) and also with Fe and Ru ions carrying the magnetic moment (S=5/2 and 2 respectively) at a fixed concentration of 5 at. %. Substitution did…
The influence of the A-site ionic radii (<rA>) on the magnetic structure has been investigated in La0.5Ca0.5-xSrxMnO3 compounds (0 .GE. x .LE. 0.5) using neutron diffraction, magnetization, and resistivity techniques. All compounds in the…
We propose a mechanism for A-type antiferromagnetism in orthorombic LaMnO_3, compatible with the large Jahn-Teller splitting inferred from structural data. Orbital ordering resulting from Jahn-Teller distortions effectively leads to A-type…
Rare earth perovskites ($R^{3+}$M$^{3+}$O$_3$), with $e_g^1$ electronic occupation of the M $d$ states, display different types of metal-insulator transition. For manganites (M=Mn), metal-insulator transition is usually induced by the…
The origin of the cooperative Jahn-Teller distortion and orbital-order in LaMnO3 is central to the physics of the manganites. The question is complicated by the simultaneous presence of tetragonal and GdFeO3-type distortions and the strong…

At 750K, LaMnO_3 has a cooperative Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion, with Mn atoms in distorted oxygen octahedra. This lifts the degeneracy of the singly-occupied $e_g$ orbitals of the Mn$^{3+}$ ions, which then become orbitally ordered. We use…

It is shown that the time-reversal symmetry is broken during the phase transition causing orbital ordering in a crystal with Jahn-Teller (J-T) ions. This means that such phase transitions are magnetic ones. As an example we have considered…

At room temperature, bulk La$_{7/8}$Sr$_{1/8}$MnO$_3$ is in the dynamic Jahn--Teller O$^*$ phase, but undergoes a transition to a static, magnetically ordered Jahn--Teller phase at lower temperatures. Here we study a $6$ unit cells thin…
