Abstract
Half-doped manganese oxides are very important on clarifying physical mechanism of strong correlation electron system and colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effec t due to their rich physical content. The structure, electrical and magnetic tra nsport properties of Nd0.5Ca0.5MnO3 manganite w as systemically studied. The results show that Nd0.5Ca0.5 MnO3 compound displays the O′-orthorhombic structure and indicate th e existence of the typical Jahn-Teller distortion under 300 K. The transport pro perties show that the system undergoes paramagnetic insulator-ferromagnetic meta l transition under a magnetic field of 8 T and is accompanied by CMR effect. Mea nwhile, it is found that the temperature of antiferromagnetic transition and cha rge ordering is around 150 and 240K, respectively. There appears a typical reent rant spin glass behavior around 41K and the negative magnetization is also obser ved in the compound. All these phenomena indicate that there exist several comp lex magnetic interactions in the ground state of this half-doped Nd0.5Ca0.5MnO3 compound at low temperature. The present result s provide experimental data for strongly electronic correlated system of manga nites.
