Possible link of a structurally driven spin flip transition and the insulator-metal transition in the perovskite LaBaCoO
The complex nature of the magnetic ground state in LaACoO
(A = Ca, Sr, Ba) has been investigated via neutron scattering. It was
previously observed that ferromagnetic (FM) as well as antiferromagnetic (AFM)
correlations can coexist prior to the insulator-metal transition (IMT). We
focused on a unique region in the Ba phase diagram, from x = 0.17 - 0.22, in
which a commensurate AFM phase appears first with a propagation vector, k = (0,
-0.5, 0.5), and the Co moment in the (001) plane of the rhombohedral
lattice. With increasing x, the AFM component weakens while an FM order appears
with the FM Co moment directed along the (001) (=(111)) axis. By x
= 0.22, a spin flip to new FM component appears as the crystal fully transforms
to an orthorhombic (Pnma) structure, with the Co moments pointing along a new
direction, (001) (=(110)). It is the emergence of the magnetic Pnma
phase that leads to IMT.Comment: 5 page
