摘要
The magnetic, transport, and optical properties of electron-doped Ca1-xLaxMnO3-delta single crystals with x <= 0.12 were studied. The magnetic measurements show that in single crystals with x = 0 and 0.05 the G-type AFM phase with weak FM component is realized and in crystals with x = 0.10 and 0.12 the G-and C-type AFM phases coexist. The C-type magnetic structure arises at less concentration of La than in polycrystalline samples as a result of oxygen vacancies being additional source of electrons. Under magnetic transitions in the G-and C-type phases, resistivity and magnetoresistance of the doped single crystals have anomalies. Optical absorption in IR range indicates formation of a charge gap in crystals with x = 0.10 and 0.12 at appearance of the C-AFM and monoclinic phase with orbital/charge ordering. By comparing optical and transport properties, heterogeneous electronic state and its relation with heterogeneous magnetic state are shown. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
