Moessbauer study of supertransferred hyperfine field of 119Sn (Sn4+) in Casub(1-x)Srsub(x)MnO3

Casub(1-x)Srsub(x)Mnsub(0.99)Snsub(0.01)O3(0<=x<=1) with (nearly) cubic perovskite structures were prepared and the magnetic hyperfine fields of 119Sn (Sn4+) were measured by the Moessbauer effect. The hyperfine fields arise from unpaired s electron spin densities transferred from Mn4+ ions (supertransferred hyperfine interaction). The hyperfine field for a tin ion was found to depend linearly upon the numbers of Ca2+ and Sr2+ ions in the neighboring divalent cation sites, with proportional coefficients having opposite signs. To explain experimental results two kinds of spin transfer processes contributing to the hyperfine field oppositely to each other have been considered, and spin transfer via a divalent cation is emphasized particularly. The hyperfine field at 0 K for Sn4+ in CaMnO3 is -75 kOe, while +20 kOe for Sn4+ in SrMnO3. (auth.)
