Manganite charge and orbitally ordered and disordered states probed by Fe substitution into Mn site in LnBaMn1.96Fe0.04O5, LnBaMn1.96Fe0.04O6 and LnBaMn1.96Fe0.04O5.5 (Ln=Y, Gd, Sm, Nd, Pr, La)
The layered manganese oxides LnBaMn1.96Fe0.04Oy (Ln=Y, Gd, Sm, Nd, Pr, La)
have been synthesized for y=5, 5.5 and 6. In the oxygen-saturated state (y=6)
they exhibit the charge and orbital order at ambient temperature for Ln=Y, Gd,
Sm, but unordered eg-electronic system for Ln=La,Pr,Nd. Fourfold increase of
quadrupole splitting was observed owing to the charge and orbital ordering.
This is in agreement with the jumplike increase in distortion of the reduced
perovskite-like cell for the charge and orbitally ordered manganites compared
to the unordered ones. Substitution of 2 percents of Mn by Fe suppresses the
temperatures of structural and magnetic transitions by 20 to 50 K. Parameters
of the crystal lattices and the room-temperature M\"{o}ssbauer spectra were
studied on forty samples whose structures were refined within five symmetry
groups: P4/mmm, P4/nmm, Pm-3m, Icma and P2/m. Overwhelming majority of the Fe
species are undifferentiated in the M\"{o}ssbauer spectra for most of the
samples. Such the single-component spectra in the two-site structures are
explained by the preference of Fe towards the site of Mn(III) and by the
segmentation of the charge and orbitally ordered domains.Comment: 8 figures; figures 2 and 3 were revise
Physics Beyond SM at RHIC with Polarized Protons
The capabilities of RHIC with polarized protons to test the Lorentz structure
of electroweak interactions and also the properties of MSSM Higgs, should it be
discovered, are discussed.Comment: Report to the 14th International Symposium on Spin Physics, October
16-21, 2000, RCNP, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan. To be published in the
