| Sumario: | [EN] Magnetic properties of the Er(Co,Mn)O3 solid solution result from a subtle interplay of different interactions between erbium moments and several other magnetic entities present in this system: Mn3+, Mn4+, Co2+, Co3+, as well as double-exchange interactions among them. The special case of the 0.5:0.5 = Co:Mn substitution is particularly important since ferromagnetic domains may reorientate both under low and high external magnetic fields. Magnetic dilution of the erbium sublattice by non-magnetic yttrium (same valence and size) allows separating out the antiferromagnetic 4f-3d interactions leaving just the ferromagnetic Co2+-Mn4+ transition metal sublattice. Magnetic properties of the ErxY1-xCo0.50Mn0.50O3 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) solid solution are presented, going from ferromagnetism (x = 0; YCo0.5Mn0.5O3) to ferrimagnetism (x = 1; ErCo0.5Mn0.5O3). Antiferromagnetic interactions get stronger while the Co/Mn ferromagnetic domains become harder to rotate when the rare-earth sublattice is progressively filled with erbium ions of large magnetic moments. A linear dependence with x(Er) is observed for the critical field Hcrit related to the reorientation of domains, going from 1.3 T up to 3.5 T, for x = 0 and 1, respectively. At the same time, the compensation temperature Tcomp increases and the spontaneous magnetization Mrem decreases with increasing content of erbium. |
