摘要
Neutron powder diffraction studies of the structural and magnetic properties of the La1-xSrxNbyCo1-yO3 solid solutions (x = 0.2, 0.5; y = 0, 0.075, 0.1) have been performed. Substitution of Co2+ by Nb5+ prevents the formation of Co4+ and leads to stabilization of the Co3+ ions in the high-or intermediate-spin state. This is accompanied by the significant change of the Co-O bond length as well as Co-O-Co bond angle in the CoO6 octahedron. The obtained data are in agreement with the negative sign of the magnetic exchange interactions Co3+-O-Co3+ in a relatively wide range of the Co-O-Co bond angles. Diamagnetic dilution by the niobium ions prevents long-range magnetic ordering and strongly increases magnetoresistance at low temperature.
