Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of the insulating ferromagnetic manganite Nd₀.8Pb₀.2MnO₃ above the transition temperature
read the original abstract
Single crystals of Nd_{1-x}Pb_{x}MnO_{3} with x=0.2 are grown by high temperature solution growth technique using PbO-PbF_{2} flux. Magnetization studies on the samples show a transition to a ferromagnetic state below T_c ~ 125 K and the resistivity measurements show it to be an insulator throughout the temperature range 50 - 300 K. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance studies have been performed for T > T_{C} with a view to comparing the results with those on metallic ferromagnetic manganites. The temperature dependence of various parameters like g-value, linewidth and intensity has been studied in the temperature range 150 - 300 K. It is found that they behave in a manner similar to that exhibited by metallic ferromagnetic manganites.
