Abstract

The structure, magnetic properties, and critical behavior of Nd0.6Sr0.2K0.2MnO3 compound are investigated. Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the examined sample is a pure single phase, crystallized in an orthorhombic Pnma structure. The nanometric size of crystallites calculated using Williamson-Hall method is validated by transmission electron microscopy micrographs. Magnetic measurements indicate a second-order ferromagnetic (FM)/paramagnetic (PM) transition at the Curie point Tc. Various techniques are used such as modified Arrott plot (MAP), Kouvel-Fisher method (KF), and critical isotherm analysis (CIA) to identify critical properties from isothermal magnetization data near critical regions. The deduced values are close to the 3D Ising model, proving the existence of a short-range ferromagnetic order in Nd0.6Sr0.2K0.2MnO3 sample. The results fully meet the requirements of the universal scaling assumption, further confirming its accuracy.
