Herein, a citric acid combustion method is used to prepare LaFeO3 (LFO) and LaFe0.5Cr0.5O3 (LFCO). Stable and distorted perovskite structures are detected by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of both samples. Due to the substitution of chromium ions, Fe–Fe couplings are wholly disrupted, thus indicating the transition from a sextet to a singlet at room temperature. The M versus T curve of LFO exhibits two anomalous peaks related to Fe–O–Fe superexchange interactions. However, a quite different behavior is observed in LFCO. It reveals the negative irreversibility below 239 K and becomes paramagnetic above 269 K. The field‐cooled (FC) curve of LFCO is also simulated using the Monte Carlo method with Heisenberg model. Exchange coupling and anisotropy constants, which indicate some system properties, are calculated by applying the particle swarm algorithm fitting. The Néel temperature of LFCO is determined to be 80 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
