“…The Co 3+ spin states may be (a) low-spin (LS) (t2g 6 eg 0 ), (b) intermediate-spin (IS) (t2g 5 eg 1 ), or (c) high-spin (HS) (t2g 4 eg 2 ) [10][11][12]. The competition between different spin states has caused large controversy in the literature previously [10,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], but in most studies only the case of LaCoO3 has been considered. Different studies favor either a LS to IS or a LS to HS state transition by heating across Ts1 ≈ 75 K [20][21][22][23][24].…”

AbstractThe series of perovskite rare-earth (RE) doped cobaltites (RE)CoO3 (RE = La -Dy) was prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis. The crystal structure undergoes a change of symmetry depending on the size of the RE cation. LaCoO3 is rhombohedral, S.G. , while for the rest of the RE series (Pr -Dy) the symmetry is orthorhombic, S.G. Pnma (No. 62). The crystal structure obtained by X-Ray diffraction was confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy, which yielded a good match between experimental and simulated images. It is further shown that the well-known magnetism in LaCoO3, which involves a thermally induced Co 3+ (d 6 ) low spin to intermediate or high spin state transition, is strongly modified by RE-doping and a rich variety of magnetic order has been detected across the series.

“…However, the spin structure at different temperatures has been highly debated. For example, the LS-HS [17,18], LS-IS [19,20], and LS-HS/LS crossover scenarios have been discussed in the literature [21][22][23][24][25].…”

Strain-driven spin-state transition and superexchange interaction in LaCoO3:Abinitiostudy

2012

Using spin density functional theory with the Hubbard correction we investigate the magnetic structure of strained LaCoO 3 . We show that beyond biaxial tensile strain of 2.5%, local magnetic moments originating from the high spin (HS) state of Co 3+ emerge in a low spin (LS) Co 3+ matrix. In contrast, we find that compressive strain is not able to stabilize a magnetic state due to geometric constraints. LaCoO 3 accommodates tensile strain via spin state disproportionation resulting in an unusual sublattice structure. In tensile-strained LaCoO 3 , the first nearest neighbor (n.n.) exchange coupling is ferromagnetic (FM) while the second n.n. interaction is stronger and antiferromagnetic (AFM). This unusual feature of the exchange parameters is qualitatively verified with a model superexchange calculation. Due to the competition between the FM and AFM couplings in the system, we find that the most probable magnetic structure of tensile-strained LCO is a canted-spin structure, which may explain the relatively small observed magnetic moment of 0.7μ B /Co 3+ .

“…Lanthanum Cobaltate (LaCoO 3 ) has been an intriguing subject of research primarily because of the spin state equilibria and the anomalous magnetic behaviour accompanying this crossover [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The oxygen octahedra coordinating the cobalt ion in the prototypical perovskite structure controls the delicate balance between the Hund's coupling and the crystal field splitting energy for the d electrons of Co 3?…”

Influence of Al doping in LaCoO3 on structural, electrical and magnetic properties

We report investigations on polycrystalline LaCo 1-x Al x O 3 (x = 0-0.9) bulk samples. The solid state synthesized samples showed a coexistence of rhombohedral and monoclinic phases in the intermediate concentrations (0.2 B x B 0.5) and pure rhombohedral phase otherwise. The observed effect of Al doping on dc transport has been analysed on the basis of small polaron hopping mechanism. The magnetisation results presented give evidence of weak ferromagnetism and anomalous temperature dependence of coercivity which we associate to the canting of the localised high-spin Co(III) and anti-symmetric exchange interactions at low temperatures.
