Abstract

The effect of Cr-doping on the Mn site in Nd1-ySryMnO3 (y = 0.33 and 0.5) single crystals grown by the floating zone method has been studied. The y = 0.33 system exhibits a transition at Curie temperature (TC = 250K) to ferromagnetic metal (FMM). The doping of Cr3+ ions up to 6 at% enhances the colossal magnetoresistance effect. The y = 0.5 system exhibits a transition at TC = 260K to FMM and at Néel temperature (TN = 160K) to antiferromagnetic insulator (AFMI). The doping of 5 at% Cr3+ ions lowers TC to be 250K and completely suppresses the AFMI state.
