Neutron diffraction study for structure and magnetism of Bi0.4Ca0.6Mn1 - xRu x O3 (x = 0.1 and 0.2)
Abstract
The interplay between ferromagnetism and charge-ordering in a manganite system, achieved by means of Ru substitution at Mn-site in a charge-ordered Bi0.4Ca0.6MnO3 system, has been investigated by using magnetization and neutron diffraction (ND) studies. ND experiments were carried out on polycrystalline samples of Bi0.4Ca0.6Mn1 - xRu x O3 (x = 0.1 and 0.2) as a function of temperature and also in presence of a magnetic field. The magnetic structure determined from the Rietveld refinement of ND data has been compared and discussed with the magnetization measurements. The magnetic properties observed from the ND measurements agree well with the magnetization measurements, giving more insight into the magnetism of these compounds.
