Description

Full text: La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 is the generic colossal magnetoresistance material with an insulator-metallic transition temperature of about 273 K. In this work, Moessbauer spectroscopy is used to probe its Mn sub-lattice magnetisation via a 0.5 at % substitution of Mn atoms with enriched 57Fe. Relaxation effects are successfully interpreted in terms of slowly fluctuating magnetic clusters according to a model devised elsewhere for the analysis of iron oxide spectra. Smaller, faster relaxing clusters are represented as a paramagnetic component of the spectra. The derived temperature dependence of the Mn sub-lattice magnetisation is compared with results obtained using other interpretations and other measurement techniques.
