Abstract

We have derived the magnetic phase diagram for Nd_1/2Ca _1/2(Mn_1-yM_y)O₃ (M = Ru, Cr and Sc) based on the neutron powder diffraction measurements. We found that the Ru- and Cr-doping induces an antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic transition at y = 0.01-0.02, while the Sc-doping does not induce the transition up to y = 0.10. We have found significant dopant dependent effects on the distortion of the MnO₆ octahedra in the heavily-doped region of the long-c phase: the MnO₆ shape approached to the 2-long/4-short type with Ru-doping, while it does to the 4-long/2-short type with Sc-doping. Absence of the ferromagnetic phase in the Sc-doped system can be ascribed to (1) a strong charge-ordering instability due to the 4-long/2-short type distortion of the MnO₆ octahedra and (2) the reduced effective one-electron bandwidth due to the Sc³⁺ (d⁰) impurities.
