Abstract
A new cubic perovskite, (SrLa)(MgMn)06_x, has been prepared under the reaction conditions of high temperature (900°C) and high oxygen pressure (60 kbar). The latter condition was generated by in situ thermal decomposition of KC1O3 in a belt-type apparatus. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that Mg and Mn ions are distributed randomly in the B-site of the cubic perovskite with the lattice constants of 3.873(3) À. Redox titration and thermogravimetric analysis were carried out to determine the average oxidation state of manganese ions, and/or the content of oxygen deficiency that was deduced as x ≅ 0.38(2). Electron spin resonance spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a weak ferromagnetic coupling due to the superexchange interaction between t2g orbital electrons of Mn(IV) and Mn(V).
