Abstract

We have examined the effects of excess oxygen on the magnetization, electrical transport properties and crystal structure of La_0.95Sr_0.05MnO_y. An antiferromagnetic insulator phase confirmed in the as-grown crystal at low temperatures changed to a ferromagnetic insulator phase after the introduction of excess oxygen. The ferromagnetic transition temperature, T_C, systematically increased with increasing oxygen content, y, due to an increase in the mean valence of manganese. However, the T_C of crystals with excess oxygen was lower than that of the La_1-xSr_xMnO_3.00 having identical manganese valence. This is considered to be a result of the competition among the mean valence of manganese, the concentration of cation vacancies, and the mean ionic radius of cations at the A-site.
