Abstract
Structural and magnetic properties of Bi0.5 Ca0.5-xBaxMnO3 (x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.10) samples with charge ordering (CO) state and C-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) magnetic structure have been studied systematically. With increasing Ba-doping level, both CO and AFM are weakened. From the micro-magnetic analysis, we clarify the ambiguity about the Néel temperature TN in bismuth-based perovskite manganites. We find that the paramagnetic (PM)-CO/AFM transition temperature TCO at high temperature is the onset temperature of the PM–AFM transition, while customarily so-called TN at low temperature indicates the finish of the PM–AFM transition. Both the macro- and micro-magnetic data show that, in all the samples, only AFM state coexists with PM matrix below CO transition and above TN, while AFM state coexists with ferromagnetic (FM) state and PM state at lower temperature below TN.
