Synthesis and characterisation of Sr1.2 Nd0.8 Mn0.6 Rh0.4 O4
Journal of Materials Chemistry 13:5 (2003) 1166-1172
Abstract:
A polycrystalline sample of Sr1.2Nd0.8Mn0.6Rh0.4O4 has been synthesised and characterised by neutron diffraction, dc magnetometry, muon spectroscopy and magnetotransport measurements. Ir is an n = 1 member of the Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) An + 1BnO3n + 1 family, having tetragonal (I4/mmm) symmetry [a = 3.86418(6), c = 12.4414(2) Å]. Rh and Mn cations are disordered over the six-coordinate sites within the perovskite layers of the RP structure and the A sites are occupied by a disordered distribution of Nd and Sr. In contrast to the analogous compound Sr1.2La 0.8Mn0.6Rh0.4O4, which showed long range ferromagnetic ordering in an applied field ar 2 K, a spin-glass transition was observed ar 16 K for the Nd-containing compound. No long range magnetic order was observed ar 2 K. A maximum magnetoresistance of ∼ 30% in a 140 kOe field was found at 125 K.Magnetotransport measurements on beta ''-(BEDT-TTF)(4)[(H3O)Ga3+(C2O4)(3)](center dot) C6N5NO2

Abstract:
Transport measurements have been carried out on single crystals of the charge transfer salt beta"-(BEDT-TTF)(4)[(H3O) Ga3+ (C2O4)(3)]. C6H5NO2, using magnetic fields of up to 33 T and temperatures down to 0.55 K. The material is found to be superconducting with T. 7.5 K and an in-plane critical field B-c2 greater than or equal to 33 T, and to exhibit Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations. The temperature and angle dependence of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and the upper critical field are reported, allowing information about the anisotropy of the upper critical field, effective mass m*, and the Fermi-surface (FS) of the material to be deduced.Magnetotransport measurements on β"-(BEDT-TTF)4 [(H3 O)Ga3+(C2 O4 )3 ].

Transport measurements have been carried out on single crystals of the charge transfer salt β″-(BEDT-TTF)4[(H3O)Ga3+(C2 O4)3]. C6H5NO2, using magnetic fields of up to 33 T and temperatures down to 0.55 K. The material is found to be superconducting with Tc ≈ 7.5 K and an in-plane critical field Bc2 ≥ 33 T, and to exhibit Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations. The temperature and angle dependence of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and the upper critical field are reported, allowing information about the anisotropy of the upper critical field, effective mass m*, and the Fermi-surface (FS) of the material to be deduced.Millimetre-wave response of the novel organic superconductors beta ''-ET4[(H3O)M(C2O4)(3)]center dot S (M=Fe3+, S=C6H5CN and C6H5NO2)

Abstract:
The high frequency (f=70 GHz) magneto-optical response of beta"-ET4[(H3O)M(C2O4)(3)].S, where M=Fe3+, S=C6H5CN and C6H5NO2, has been investigated in the temperature range 1.4 K < T < 120 K. The angle dependence of the EPR spectra and the anisotropy of the g-factors for the two materials are presented.Millimetre-wave response of the novel organic superconductors β″-ET4 [(H3 O)M(C2 O4 )3 ].S (M=Fe3+, S= C6 H5 CN and C6 H5 NO2 )
