Popis: | We report on the effect of substitution of Eu on the structure, magnetic and transport properties of the layered manganese oxides La1.2-xEuxSr1.8Mn2O7 (x = 0-0.4). With Eu substituting for some of the La, the MnO6 octahedron shows an anomalous lattice distortion, especially in the case of x = 0.2. Eu substitution suppresses the ferromagnetic (FM) metallic state, resulting in a FM cluster-glass state for xleq0.2 and no magnetic ordering for x>0.2. LaEu0.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 (x = 0.2) undergoes a metamagnetic transition from the proposed layered FM cluster-glass state to the long-range FM state under a 4 T field, as well as a magnetic-field-induced insulating-metallic transition. The relationships among the lattice effect, exchange interactions and magnetotransport properties are discussed. |
