Ferromagnetism in Mn-doped CuO

Ferromagnetism in Mn-doped CuO

Ferromagnetic properties have been observed in CuO doped with 3.5–15 at. % of Mn. The transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase at TC=80 K is associated with the metal–insulator transition. Magnetoresistance is weakly negative in the vicinity of the transition, but positive in a wide range...

Description
Summary:Ferromagnetic properties have been observed in CuO doped with 3.5–15 at. % of Mn. The transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase at TC=80 K is associated with the metal–insulator transition. Magnetoresistance is weakly negative in the vicinity of the transition, but positive in a wide range of temperatures below TC. The experimental results suggest a possibility of interpretation in terms of the Zener double-exchange mechanism and strong electron–phonon interactions.
