Abstract

We report the synthesis of a new series of manganese oxides, ALaMn2O6-y, for A = K, Rb, and Cs, that adopt an ordered superstructure of the perovskite. The K and Rb phases are tetragonal (at ~ 7.75, ct ~ 7.10 Å) and the Cs phase is orthorhombic (a0 = 5.511, b0 = 5.468, c = 7.311 Å) indicating 2ap × 2ap and √2ap × √2ap × 2ap (ap = perovskite subcell) superstructures, respectively. The K and Rb phases are ferromagnetic (Tc~327 and 300 K) metals, exhibiting a giant magnetoresistance behavior similar to alkaline earth metal substituted lanthanide manganites. The results reveal that it is possible to induce Mn(III)/ Mn(IV) mixed valency and the related electronic properties through anion deficiency in ordered perovskites of the kind ALaMn2O6.
