Abstract

Ferromagnetism (Tc) and negative magnetoresistive properties (maximum at 30 K) are observed in the monolayered manganites Ca2–xLnxMnO4 (Ln=Pr, Sm, Gd, Ho and 0<x7≤0.20) despite their pure bidimensional character. A detailed structural study was carried out using X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, and high resolution electron microscopy. This shows that they exhibit an orthorhombic cell, with a≊b≊ap2, c≊√12 Å and Aba2 or Abma as possible space groups. In all these oxides, (001)-type twinning is observed, on a unit cell scale, creating in this way a local periodicity of 24 Å. In the x=0.08 doped samples, it is observed that the microstructural state is strongly dependant on the synthesis process but it does not affect the magnetotransport properties.
