Abstract

The effects of 25 at. % Ga substitution on the Mn site in the ferromagnetic La0.67Ca0.33Mn3 perovskite (TC = 265 K)have been studied by ac susceptibility, dc magnetization, neutron-diffraction (ND) and neutron-depolarization (NDP) techniques. The ND study shows a complete absence of long-range magnetic ordering in the substituted sample. However, the presence of spin clusters (with net moments) at T < 48 K is confirmed from the NDP study. Under external fields, spin clusters are found to persist at T > 48 K. A temperature-independent cluster size and moment are prominent at T ≲ 30 K Above 30 K (blocking temperature), superparamagnetic relaxation is evident
