Abstract

The structural and magnetic properties of polycrystalline Nd0.67Sr0.33Mn1−xRuxO3 (x = 0.00 and 0.10) samples have been studied with the substitution of Ru at Mn site. The samples have orthorhombic crystal structure determined by room-temperature X-ray diffraction and Rietvield analysis. On Ru doping at Mn site, a change in its symmetry space group is observed. The increase in Ru content significantly affects the Curie temperature (Tc). The double-exchange mechanism is suppressed with Ru doping affecting the Mn3+–O2−–Mn4+ ion network. Paramagnetic regime of samples in magnetization-temperature graph is fitted and analyzed with Curie-Weiss law. The magnetization versus applied magnetic field measurements show that the samples exhibit ferromagnetic behavior at lower temperatures and paramagnetic behavior at room temperature with negligible hysteresis loop and low coercive field.
