Abstract
The ferrimagnetic compounds Ca(CuxMn3−x )Mn4O12 of the double distorted perovskites AC3B4O12 family exhibit a rapid increase of the ferromagnetic component in magnetization at partial substitution of square coordinated (Mn3+)C for (Cu2+)C. In the transport properties, this is seen as a change of the semiconducting type of resistivity for the metallic one. The evolution of magnetic properties of Ca(CuxMn3−x )Mn4O12 is driven by strong antiferromagnetic exchange interaction of (Cu2+)C with (Mn3+/Mn4+)B coordinated octahedra. The competing interactions of (Mn3+)C with (Mn3+/Mn4+)B lead to the formation of noncollinear magnetic structures that can be aligned by magnetic fields.
