Structural, magnetic, and transport properties of nanoparticles of the manganite Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3

TLDR
In this article, the structural, magnetic and transport properties of nanoparticles of Pr0.5Ca 0.5MnO3 (PCMO) were investigated with particle sizes as small as 15nm synthesized by polyol route.
Abstract
In this paper we report the structural, magnetic, and transport properties of nanoparticles of Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3(PCMO). On comparing our results with that of bulk PCMO, we find that there is a likely destabilization of charge ordering in nanoparticles of PCMO. The investigation has been done with particle sizes as small as 15nm synthesized by polyol route. The size reduction (by keeping the chemical composition unchanged) reduces the orthorhombic c axis preferentially and thus reduces the orthorhombic distortion. The size reduction to 15nm enhances the ferromagnetic moment at low temperatures and strongly suppresses the activated charge transport which is seen in the bulk samples of charge ordered PCMO.

X-ray line broadening from filed aluminium and wolfram

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a Geiger counter spectrometer to measure the changes in intensity distribution in the spectra of cold worked aluminium and wolfram and found that the line breadths may be attributed to simultaneous small particle size and strain broadening, the latter predominating at the higher Bragg angles.

Magnetic-field-induced metal-insulator phenomena in Pr1-xCaxMnO3 with controlled charge-ordering instability

TL;DR: Field-induced insulator-to-metal transitions have been found in single crystals, which are accompanied by a melting of the insulating charge-ordered state, which is argued in terms of the effect of discommensuration of the charge concentration on the charge-ordering state.

Charge, orbital, and magnetic ordering in La 0.5 Ca 0.5 MnO 3 s

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of synchrotron x-ray and neutron powder diffraction data indicates that the anomalous and hysteretic behavior of the lattice parameters occurring between 225 K and 155 K is due to the development of a Jahn-Teller distortion of the octahedra, the orbitals being oriented perpendicular to the orthorhombic b axis.
