Abstract

The structural, resistive, magnetic, and magnetoresistive properties of the La0.6Sr0.3 − xBixMn1.1O3 ceramics have been studied. The substitution of Bi ions for Sr ions increases the lattice parameter of the rhombohedral perovskite structure, decreases the metal-semiconductor and ferromagnet-paramagnet phase transition temperatures and the peak of the magnetoresistive effect, and increases the resistivity, approaching the system to the ferroelectric state. The 55Mn NVR study indicates on the high-frequency Mn3+ ↔ Mn4+ superexchange and heterogeneity of the valence and magnetic states of manganese due to the nonuniformity of distribution of all ions and defects. The phase diagram has been constructed, which shows a strong correlation between the structural, magnetic, and magnetoresistive properties.
