Abstract :
[en] Besides the Kondo effect observed in dilute magnetic alloys, the Cr-doped perovskite manganate compounds La0.7Ca0.3Mn1-xCrxO3 also exhibit Kondo effect and spin-glass freezing in a certain composition range. An extensive investigation for the La0.7Ca0.3Mn1-xCrO3 (x=0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.3, 0.6, and 1.0) system on the magnetization and ac susceptibility, the resistivity and magnetoresistance, as well as the thermal conductivity is done at low temperature. The spin-glass behavior has been confirmed for these compounds with x=0.05, 0.1, and 0.3. For temperatures above T-f (the spin-glass freezing temperature) a Curie-Weiss law is obeyed. The paramagnetic Curie temperature 0 is dependent on Cr doping. Below T-f there exists a Kondo minimum in the resistivity. Colossal magnetoresistance has been observed in this system with Cr concentration up to x=0.6. We suppose that the substitution of Mn with Cr dilutes Mn ions and changes the long-range ferromagnetic order of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3. These behaviors demonstrate that short-range ferromagnetic correlation and fluctuation exist among Mn spins far above T-f. Furthermore, these interactions are a precursor of the cooperative freezing at T-f. The "double bumps" feature in the resistivity-temperature curve is observed in compounds with x= 0.05 and 0.1. The phonon scattering is enhanced at low temperatures, where the second peak of double bumps comes out. The results indicate that the spin-cluster effect and lattice deformation induce Kondo effect, spin-glass freezing, and strong phonon scattering in mixed perovskite La0.7Ca0.3Mn1-xCrO3.
