Abstract
The temperature-dependent structural changes were investigated by using the X-ray diffraction and the Ex- tended X-ray absorption fine spectroscopy (EXAFS) for layered perovskite manganites La2-2xSr1+2xMn2O7 (x=0.33 and 0.4). The anomalous changes of Mn-O bond length and Jahn-Teller (J-T) distortion of MnO6 octahedron were observed, corresponding to ferromagnetic transition temperature (~ 120 K). Around the temperature of 2D short-range magnetic or- dering (~ 235 K), there occurs an anomaly of the Jahn-Teller distortions of MnO6. These results indicate that magnetic properties of perovskite manganites La2-2xSr1+2xMn2O7 depend heavily on their microstructure change. The orbital state occupancy is involved in the observed Mn-O bond change.
