Description

Sr2-xLaxMnTiO6 (0.25 ≤ x ≤ 1) orthorhombic perovskite-like system has been synthesized by the ceramic method. Structural characterization from x-ray and neutron diffraction shows a random distribution of Sr/La and Mn/Ti cations, in A- and B-sublattices, respectively, in all the cases. These materials show complex magnetic behaviour which can be interpreted in terms of frustrated FM interactions, considering a cluster-glass picture. M-I transitions have been observed for x = 0.75, 1 and negative MR responses in the ranges of 1000% and 90% have been detected at 40 K and 210 K, respectively. Magnetization (ZFC and FC) measurements in ac and dc are interpreted considering the existence of superparamagnetic clusters embedded in a paramagnetic matrix
