Notes:
A paramagnetic–ferromagnetic transition has been observed in detail by electron-spin resonance (ESR) around the Curie temperature in a series of Nd0.7(Ca, Sr, Ba)0.3MnO3 with a fixed A-site mean radius 〈rA〉=1.21 Å. As A-site cation disorder σ2 increases, the ESR linewidth increases and the activation energy obtained from the ESR decreases, suggesting an increase of the local lattice distortions and a weakening of the ferromagnetic correlations with increasing σ2. ESR signals reveal that the A-site cation disorder causes the local microscopic inhomogeneity of the Mn oxidation state, which leads to the broad paramagnetic–ferromagnetic transition. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
