Abstract

The effects on structural and paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transitions by isovalent chemical substitution of smaller Ca²⁺ into the bigger Ba²⁺ sites in La_0.6(Ba_0.4-xCa_x)MnO₃ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) are investigated. With increasing x, a change from the rhombohedral cell (space group: R-3c) to an orthorhombic cell (space group: Pbnm) is observed. For x ≥ 0.3, the structural transformation leads to an increase in the Mn-O(1) bond length along the c-axis which corresponds to the Jahn-Teller distortion of the distorted MnO₆ octahedra in the orthorhombic cell. This effect gives rise to a decrease in T_C (the temperature of the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition) with increasing Ca content.
