Abstract
Magnetization measurements of La0.5Sr0.5Mn1−xAlxO3 (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.25) under pulsed high magnetic fields up to 50 T have been carried out, in which the Al3+ ions doping and magnetic field effects on the charge-ordering/antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transitions have been discussed. A triple-phase diagram with the critical field, doping level and temperature has been determined, in which the antiferromagntic and ferromagnetic phase boundaries were clearly defined. The change from long-range charge-ordered/antiferromagnetic phases to the robust short-range ones upon the Al3+-doping was observed. According to the experimental results, we assume that Al3+ ion doping at the Mn sites dilutes the Mn3+-O-Mn4+ network, weakens the double-exchange interaction and further suppresses the FM phase (metallic conduction), which leads to the critical magnetic fields destroying the antiferromagnetic order increase with the increase of the doping level.
