| Popis: | Investigation of the electronic and spin structure in double perovskites is recently attracting significant attention, mainly driven by their unique multifunctional properties and other underlying charge and spin dynamics. Herein, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), we explore the influence of variable fractions of Mn3+/Mn4+ cation in different crystallite sizes of La2NiMnO6 that control the various completing exchange interactions of Ni/Mn cations responsible for multiple magnetic transitions. The enhanced itinerant electron due to Mn4+ + Ni2+ to Mn3+ + Ni3+ charge transfer emerged as a shoulder like characteristics at the low binding energy in the Mn-2P core-level spectrum. The various approaches such as difference in saturation magnetization, presence of multiple charge valance, and magnetic entropy calculations confirm the presence of antisites disorder and it varies as a function of milling. As milling provides excess energy that helps with nucleation or cation ordering. Competing magnetic interactions driven by mixed valences and disorder were established across a cluster glassy phase in the crystallites. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) was utilized to probe the temperature-driven ferromagnetic-cluster spin-glass transition with modified g-factor ranging from 2.050 to 2.037. The line width of the ESR signals increases across the ferromagnetic to cluster-glass phase transition due to spin freezing. This phase transition is further characterized by temperature-dependent ac-magnetic susceptibility measurements. Argand diagram for the ac-susceptibility of the interacting crystallites suggests a collective magnetization relaxation dynamic in the proximity of spin-glass freezing temperature of La2NiMnO6.
