La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoMn$_{0.5}$Fe$_{0.5}$O$_{6}$ (LSCMFO) compound was prepared by solid state reaction and its structural, electronic and magnetic properties were investigated. The material forms in rhombohedral $Rbar{3}c$ structure, and the presence of distinct magnetic interactions leads to the formation of a Griffiths phase above its FM transition temperature (150 K), possibly related to the nucleation of small short-ranged ferromagnetic clusters. At low temperatures, a spin glass-like phase emerges and the system exhibits both the conventional and the spontaneous exchange bias (EB) effects. These results resemble those reported for La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoMnO$_{6}$ but are discrepant to those found when Fe partially substitutes Co in La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$(Co$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$)MnO$_{6}$, for which the EB effect is observed in a much broader temperature range. The unidirectional anisotropy observed for LSCMFO is discussed and compared with those of resembling double-perovskite compounds, being plausibly explained in terms of its structural and electronic properties.

The perovskite TbFe$_{0.5}$Cr$_{0.5}$O$_3$ shows two anomalies in the magnetic susceptibility at $T_N$ = 257K and $T_{SR}$ = 190K which are respectively, the antiferromagnetic and spin reorientation transition that occur in the Fe/Cr sublattice. Anal ysis of the magnetic susceptibility reveals signatures of Griffiths-like phase in this compound. Neutron diffraction analysis confirms that, as the temperature is reduced from 350K, a spin reorientation transition from $Gamma_2$ (F$_x$, C$_y$, G$_z$) to $Gamma_4$ (G$_x$, A$_y$, F$_z$) occurs at $T_N$ = 257K and subsequently, a second spin reorientation takes place from $Gamma_4$ (G$_x$, A$_y$, F$_z$) to $Gamma_2$ (F$_x$, C$_y$, G$_z$) at $T_{SR}$ = 190K. The $Gamma_2$ (F$_x$, C$_y$, G$_z$) structure is stable until 7.7K where an ordered moment of 7.74(1)$mu_mathrm B$/Fe$^{3+}$(Cr$^{3+}$) is obtained from neutron data refinement. In addition to the long-range order of the magnetic structure, indication of diffuse magnetic scattering at 7.7K is evident, thereby lending support to the Griffiths-like phase observed in susceptibility. At 7.7K, Tb develops a ferromagnetic component along the crystallographic $a$ axis. Thermal conductivity, and spin-phonon coupling of TbFe$_{0.5}$Cr$_{0.5}$O$_3$ through Raman spectroscopy are studied in the present work. An antiferromagnetic structure with ($uparrow downarrow uparrow downarrow$) arrangement of Fe/Cr spins is found in the ground state through first-principles energy calculations which supports the experimental magnetic structure at 7.7K. The spin-resolved total and partial density of states are determined showing that TbFe$_{0.5}$Cr$_{0.5}$O$_3$ is insulating with a band gap of $sim 0.12$ (2.4) eV within GGA (GGA+$U$) functionals.
We studied the charge-orbital ordering in the superlattice of charge-ordered insulating Pr$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ and ferromagnetic metallic La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ by resonant soft x-ray diffraction. A temperature-dependent incommensurability is found in the orbital order. In addition, a large hysteresis is observed that is caused by phase competition between insulating charge ordered and metallic ferromagnetic states. No magnetic phase transitions are observed in contrast to bulk, confirming the unique character of the superlattice. The deviation from the commensurate orbital order can be directly related to the decrease of ordered-layer thickness that leads to a decoupling of the orbital-ordered planes along the c axis.

We have studied a non volatile memory effect in the mixed valent compound La$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$ induced by magnetic field (H). In a previous work [R.S. Freitas et al., Phys. Rev. B 65 (2002) 104403], it has been shown that the response of thi s system upon application of H strongly depends on the temperature range, related to three well differentiated regimes of phase separation occurring below 220 K. In this work we compare memory capabilities of the compound, determined following two different experimental procedures for applying H, namely zero field cooling and field cooling the sample. These results are analyzed and discussed within the scenario of phase separation.
The possibility to develop neuromorphic computing devices able to mimic the extraordinary data processing capabilities of biological systems spurs the research on memristive systems. Memristors with additional functionalities such as robust memcapaci tance can outperform standard devices in key aspects such as power consumption or miniaturization possibilities. In this work, we demonstrate a large memcapacitive response of a perovskite memristive interface, using the topotactic redox ability of La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$Mn$_{0.5}$Co$_{0.5}$O$_{3-delta}$ (LSMCO, 0 $leq$ $delta$ $leq$ 0.62). We demonstrate that the multi-mem behaviour originates at the switchable n-p diode formed at the Nb:SrTiO3/LSMCO interface. We found for our Nb:SrTiO$_{3}$/LSMCO/Pt devices a memcapacitive effect C$_{HIGH}$/C$_{LOW}$ ~ 100 at 150 kHz. The proof-of-concept interface reported here opens a promising venue to use topotactic redox materials for disruptive nanoelectronics, with straightforward applications in neuromorphic computing technology.
In the zero-field-cooled exchange bias (ZEB) effect the unidirectional magnetic anisotropy is set at low temperatures even when the system is cooled in the absence of external magnetic field. La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoMnO$_{6}$ stands out as presenting t he largest ZEB reported so far, while for La$_{1.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$CoMnO$_{6}$ the exchange bias field ($H_{EB}$) is one order of magnitude smaller. Here we show that La$_{1.5}$Ba$_{0.5}$CoMnO$_{6}$ also exhibits a pronounced shift of its magnetic hysteresis loop, with intermediate $H_{EB}$ value in respect to Ca- and Sr-doped samples. In order to figure out the microscopic mechanisms responsible for this phenomena, these compounds were investigated by means of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, muon spin rotation and relaxation, AC and DC magnetization, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The parent compound La$_{2}$CoMnO$_{6}$ was also studied for comparison, as a reference of a non-ZEB material. Our results show that the Ba-, Ca- and Sr-doped samples present a small amount of phase segregation, and that the ZEB effect is strongly correlated to the systems structure. We also observed that mixed valence states Co$^{2+}$/Co$^{3+}$ and Mn$^{4+}$/Mn$^{3+}$ are already present at the La$_{2}$CoMnO$_{6}$ parent compound, and that Ba$^{2+}$/Ca$^{2+}$/Sr$^{2+}$ partial substitution at La$^{3+}$ site leads to a large increase of Co average valence, with a subtle augmentation of Mn formal valence. Estimates of the Co and Mn valences from the $L$-edge XAS indicate the presence of oxygen vacancies in all samples (0.05$leq delta leq$0.1). Our XMCD results show a great decrease of Co moment for the doped compounds, and indicate that the shift of the hysteresis curves for these samples is related to uncompensated antiferromagnetic coupling between Co and Mn.
