Abstract
In this work, we present the temperature dependent ESR and magnetization measurements on 3d TM doped Bi-manganite samples of composition Bi0.5Ca0.5Mn0.95TM0.05O3 (TM = Cr, Fe, Co and Ni) synthesized by solid state reaction method. The temperature dependent double integrated intensity (DI) of the ESR signal and the magnetic moment (M) have been used to estimate the charge ordering temperature (TCO), antiferromagnetic ordering (AFM) onset temperature TO and Neel temperature, TN. The 1/DI and 1/M versus T plots show FM correlations in the temperature range T > TCO and coexistence of ferromagnetic (FM) and AFM correlations in the temperature range TCO > T > TO. The magnetization data give TCO values close to the values obtained from ESR data. The data are analyzed in view of electronic phase separation model. The suppression of charge ordering is explained in view of the changes in short range magnetic interactions between Mn ions and the possible change in the band structure as a result of TM ion doping.
