Abstract
We report here the Mössbauer measurements on nanocrystalline perovskite structured manganite La0.8Sr0.2Mn0.8Fe0.19 57Fe0.01O3 as a function of pressure up to 10 GPa at room temperature. The nanocrystalline sample, prepared by sol–gel technique found to have crystallite sizes of ∼138 ± 10 Å. Zero-field electrical resistivity measurements with temperature support the nanocrystalline nature. At ambient pressure, Fe3+ as well as Fe4+ ions are distributed in two different environments – Fe3+ in low symmetric site surrounded by Mn3+ ions only while Fe4+ in high symmetric site with at least one Mn3+ ion. Pressure seems to affect the higher symmetric site. A sudden increase in isomer shift at 0.52 GPa indicates the first order phase transition representing the transformation of Fe4+ to Fe3+. Another transition at 3.7 GPa, represents the presence of Fe3+ in single kind of environment. Pressure dependence of electrical resistivity measurements verifies the transitions attributing the first order transition to the cross over of localized-electron to band magnetism.
