Popis: We have used theoretical and experimental methods to investigate the octahedral tilting and related effects of Ca1-xGdxMnO3 (x=0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2) compound. Both methods have shown that orthorhombic-perovskite structure (space group Pnma) is the most stable form and according to Glazer's classification belongs to ab+ a - tilt system. Our bond valence calculations (BVC) have shown ten additional perovskite-related modifications of the equilibrium Ca1-xGdxMnO3 structure, and their stability has been investigated as function of Gd doping. We have further studied the influence of gadolinium amount on Mn-О bond angles and distances, tilting of MnO6 octahedra around all three axes and deformation due to the presence of Jahn-Teller distortion around Mn3+ cation, and calculated the amount of Mn3+ in the system. The infrared reflection spectra of Ca1-xGdxMnO3 samples confirmed XRD results that Ca1-xGdxMnO3 nanopowders are of Pnma-1 structure and that the tilting of octahedra are increased with Gd doping. The EPR spectra are in accordance with the assumption that EPR linewidth is Mn-O-Mn angle dependent. The studied samples showed that small octahedra tilting in these samples brought only a small change of the EPR linewidth.
