Description

Tetravalent praseodymium perovskite, BaPrO3, was prepared, and its magnetic susceptibility was measured in the temperature range between 4.2 K and room temperature. Magnetic ordering was found at 11.5 K. A very sharp decline of the susceptibility was observed when the temperature was increased through this transition temperature. Magnetic susceptibilities of BaPr1-yCeyO3 solid solutions were also measured. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra could be measured only at 4.2 K for the sample of praseodymium ion doped in diamagnetic BaCeO3. The spectra were complicated. The results of magnetic measurements show that the praseodymium ions is in the tetravalent state. 17 refs., 6 figs
