We study and compare magnetic and electron paramagnetic resonance behaviors of bulk and nanoparticles of Nd(1-x)CaxMnO3 in hole doped (x = 0.4;NCMOH) and electron doped (x = 0.6;NCMOE) samples. NCMOH in bulk form shows a complex temperature dependence of magnetization M(T), with a charge ordering (CO) transition at around 250 K, an antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at around 150 K and a transition to a canted AFM phase/mixed phase at around 80 K. Bulk NCMOE behaves quite differently with just a charge ordering transition at around 280 K, thus providing a striking example of the so called electron-hole asymmetry. While our magnetization data on bulk samples are consistent with the earlier reports, the new results on the nanoparticles bring out drastic effects of size reduction. They show that M(T) behaviors of the two nano samples are essentially similar in addition to the absence of the charge order in them thus providing strong evidence for vanishing of the electron-hole asymmetry in nanomanganites. This conclusion is further corroborated by electron paramagnetic resonance studies which show that the large difference in the g-values and their temperature dependence found for the two bulk samples disappears as they approach a common behavior in the corresponding nano samples.

We study the effects of 10% Cr substitution in Mn sites of Bi0.5Sr0.5MnO3 on the antiferromagnetic (AFM) (TN ~ 110 K) transition using structural, magnetic and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. Field cooled (FC) and zero field cooled
(ZFC) magnetization measurements done from 400 K down to 4 K show that the compound is in the paramagnetic (PM) phase till 50 K where it undergoes a transition to a short range ferromagnetic phase (FM). Electron paramagnetic resonance measurements performed in the temperature range 300 K till 80 K conform with the magnetization measurements as symmetric signals are observed owing to the paramagnetic phase. Below 80 K, signals become asymmetric. Electron paramagnetic resonance intensity peaks at ~ 110 K, the decreasing intensity below this temperature confirming the presence of antiferromagnetism. We conclude that below 50 K the magnetization and EPR results are consistent with a cluster glass phase of BSMCO, where ferromagnetic clusters coexist with an antiferromagnetic background.
We investigate the effect of Ni${text -}$substitution on the crystalline structure and the critical behavior of $Nd_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Mn_{1-x}Ni_{x}O_{3}$ (0.00 $leq$ x $leq$ 0.20) perovskite. X${text -}$ray diffraction patterns revealed that the major ph
ase in all samples is the orthorhombic structure with space group $textit{Pnma}$. Rietveld refinement revealed a linear reduction in the lattice parameters along with monotonic reduction in the O2${text -}$Mn${text -}$O2 angel with increasing Ni concentration. The modified Arrott plots and the Kouvel${text -}$Fisher method have been used to analyze the magnetization isotherms near the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic (PM${text -}$FM) phase transition. The obtained critical exponents ($beta$, $gamma$ and $delta$) revealed that the Ni${text -}$free sample is consistent with 3D${text -}$Heisenberg like behavior. However, upon Ni${text -}$substitution, the critical exponents exhibit a mean field like behavior. The reliability of the obtained critical exponent ($beta$, $gamma$ and $delta$) values have been confirmed by the universal scaling behavior of the isothermal magnetization near the transition temperature.
We measured X-band electron-spin resonance of single crystalline sodium vanadate doped with lithium, Na_{1-x}Li_xV_2O_5 for 0 < x < 1.3% . The phase transition into a dimerized phase that is observed at 34 K in the undoped compound, was found to be s
trongly suppressed upon doping with lithium. The spin susceptibility was analyzed to determine the transition temperature and the energy gap with respect to the lithium content. The transition temperature Tsp is suppressed following a square dependence of the lithium concentration while the energy gap is found to decrease linearly. At high temperatures (T>Tsp) the susceptibility remains nearly independent of doping.
We have performed the powder neutron diffraction measurements on the solid solutions of SrRu_{1-x}Mn_xO_3, and found that the itinerant ferromagnetic order observed in pure SrRuO_3 changes into the C-type antiferromagnetic (AF) order with nearly loca
lized d electrons in the intermediate Mn concentration between x=0.4 and 0.6. With increasing x, the AF moment is strongly enhanced from 1.1 mB (x=0.4) to 2.6 mB (x=0.6), which is accompanied by the elongation of the tetragonal c/a ratio. These results suggest that the substitution of Mn for Ru suppresses the itinerant character of the d electrons, and induces the superexchange interaction through the compression in the c plane. We have also found that the magnetic and transport properties observed in our tetragonal samples are quite similar to those of recently reported orthorhombic ones.
We investigate charge distribution in the recently discovered high-$T_c$ superconductors, layered nickelates. With increasing value of charge-transfer energy we observe the expected crossover from the cuprate to the local triplet regime upon hole dop
ing. We find that the $d-p$ Coulomb interaction $U_{dp}$ plays a role and makes Zhang-Rice singlets less favorable, while the amplitude of local triplets is enhanced. By investigating the effective two-band model with orbitals of $x^2-y^2$ and $s$ symmetries we show that antiferromagnetic interactions dominate for electron doping. The screened interactions for the $s$ band suggest the importance of rare-earth atoms in superconducting nickelates.
