Effect of the concentration of the substitution impurity strontium on the magnetic ordering temperature in La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$FeO$_{3-\delta}$ and its sensitivity to heat treatment
Abstract:
The dependences of magnetization on temperature of La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$FeO$_{3-\delta}$ ($x$ = 0.33, 0.50, 0.67) samples before and after vacuum heat treatment are studied. The Neel temperature $T_N$, at which weak noncollinear ferromagnetism is established, is determined for each sample. The introduction of a substitutional Sr impurity into La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$FeO$_{3-\delta}$ leads to a decrease in $T_N$. This effect is compensated by vacuum heat treatment, during which an increase in $T_N$ is observed. Antiferromagnetic ordering at room temperature in annealed samples is confirmed by the presence of an intense Raman peak of two-magnon scattering at 1360 cm$^{-1}$ in the Raman spectra.
