Evidence of Ferrimagnetism in Ferromagnetic La0_{67}Ca0_{33}MnO_3 nanoparticle

Abstract

The present report is dedicated to show that ferromagnetic La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMN) particles can be better described in the framework of ferrimagnetic model. To confirm the ferrimagnetic signature in ferromagnetic LCMN particles, the temperature dependence of the inverse of magnetic susceptibility in the paramagnetic state of the samples was taken as a tool of data analysis. The observed ferrimagnetism is understood as an effect of of the core-shell spin structure in LCMN particles.Comment: 4 figure
