Resumo:[EN] Partial substitution of the rare-earth by calcium at the cationic site of the ABO3 perovskites may show extraordinary effects of spin reversal due to a negative polarization between the rare-earth and the manganese networks, as it occurs in the solid solution Gd1‑xCaxMnO3. We present herein similar effects in gadolinium perovskites of the Gd(Me,Mn)O3 type, in which the manganese sublattice has been partially substituted by transition metal elements Me, leaving the gadolinium network intact. The spin reversal phenomena is observed at a critical concentration of x(Me) = 1/3, which implies an optimum number of pairs Mn3+-Mn4+. Néel temperatures of 48 and 67 K are obtained for Me = Co and Ni, respectively, at the optimum concentration of substituent. A comparison between these different solid solutions allows us to generalize the interpretation of two interacting magnetic sublattices : a Mn-based ferromagnetic one and a negatively-aligned gadolinium network.
