Abstract

Detailed study of magnetic critical behavior through systematic analysis of magnetization data near phase transition of electron-doped ceramic Ca0.85Nd0.15MnO3(CNMO) material is accomplished. The Arrott plot generated using isothermally measured magnetization data possesses positive slopes and it signifies 2nd-order ferromagnetic (FM)- to paramagnetic (PM)-state phase transition in Nd3+ cation-doped CNMO magnetic specimen. Magnetic relaxation study of CNMO ceramic compound establishes that this compound shows significant inter-cluster interactions. From the comprehensive study of isothermally measured magnetization data using modified Arrott plot (MAP) technique, we have evaluated the critical constants of CNMO compound as β = 0.45 and γ = 0.3. The critical exponent δ was independently calculated from the careful analysis of critical isotherm as δ = 1.65. Thus, the exponents \(\beta\), \(\gamma\) and δ of CNMO compound show significant deviation from the critical constants describing the materials belonging to standard universality classes. However, the evaluated critical constants of Nd3+ cation-doped CNMO compound obey the scaling equation \(M(H,\varepsilon ) = \varepsilon^{\beta } f_{ \pm } (H/\varepsilon^{\beta + \gamma } )\) and establish the reliability of these exponents. The quite unusual values of these magnetic critical exponents are a consequence of magnetic-phase inhomogeneity and strong inter-cluster interaction present in the compound.
