Large Magnetic Entropy Effect in La2／3Ca1／3MnO3

The magnetocaloric effect in the colossal magnetoresistance material La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 was studied. From the measurements of temperature dependence of magnetization in various magnetic fields, the large magnetic entropy change associated with the ferromagnetic-paramagnetie transition was discovered. This result suggests that perovskite manganites are suitable candidates as working substance in magnetie refrigeration technology.     

Transport Properties of Rare Earth Manganese Oxide Lao.67 Ca0.33Mn1-x FexO3

The transport properties were studied for rare earth manganese oxide La0.67Cao.33Mn1-x FexO3(x=0-O.3) systems. It is found that with increasing Fe^3 -doping content x, the resistance increases and the insulator-metal transition temperature (T1M) shifts to lower temperature. If the doping content is small, the transport properties manifest metallic characteristics in the temperature range of T＜T1M, while they will obey a thermal activation model in the temperature range of T＞T1M. Such a behavior may be attributed to the Fe^3 -doping and possible Mn ions scattering to electrons. The Fe^3 doping may lead to the formation of Fe^3 -O^2- -Mn^4 channels, which could terminate the double exchange Mn^3 -O^2--Mn^4 channels. The antiferromagnetic clusters of Fe ions may induce the Mn ions to scetter to the electrons.

Structural Analysis of Eu2Mn2／3Ta4／3O7 with a Pyrochlore-Related Structure

Eu2Mn2/3Ta4/3O7 specimen was synthesized from Eu2O3, MnO and Ta2O5 in a reducing atmosphere. Structure analysis was carried out by Rietveld method from X-ray diffraction data. The X-ray diffraction profile calculated with monoelinic C2/c model was in a good agreement with the observed X-ray diffraction patterns since several small peaks of super lattice could be also assigned with C2/c symmetry in addition to fundamental reflection peaks. Eu2Mn2/3Ta4/3O7 has two kinds of distorted (Mn, Ta)O6 octahedra and HTB layers, which deviates from the regular forms. Europium atoms coordinate to eight or seven oxygen atoms and lead to two kinds of polyhedra, EuO8 and EuO7 in this compound.     

（Zn, Ca） Solid-Solution Behavior and Its Effect on Luminescence Properties in Ca1-x Znx TiO3 ： 0.002Pr^3＋ Phosphors

Nominal composition of Ca1-xZnxTiO3 ： 0. 002Pr^3 ＋ （x = 0. 000 - 0. 200） phosphors were prepared by conventional solid reaction route. XRD and PL measurements were used to investigate the solid-solution structure and luminescence properties of Zn-doped Ca1-xZnxTiO3：0.002Pr^3＋ phosphors. The effect of solid-solution structure formed by substitution between Ca^2 ＋ and Zn^2＋ ions on the luminescent properties was analyzed. The results reveal that, with the increase of Zn substitution content below 0.010, lattice parameters and the intensity of excitation peak at both 260 and 330 nm as well as the corresponding 610 nm emission intensity are monotonously decreased quickly in a similar tendency. Also, the evolution of luminescence intensity and crystal cell parameters against Zn doping concentration are in good agreement. Above results are closely related with the structure change within Ca1- xZnxTiO3：0.002Pr^3＋ solid-solution phase formed by the Zn ions substitution for the Ca sites. Present study reveals that the solid-solution structure formed by substitution between Ca^2＋ and Zn^2＋ ions has significant effect on the luminescence properties of single phase Ca1-xZnxTiO3：0.002Pr^3＋ phosphors.
