Pressure effect on yttrium doped La0.60Y0.07Ca0.33MnO3 compound

Abstract
We report the effect of hydrostatic pressure up to 8 kbar on magnetoelastic, magnetic, and transport properties in the temperature range 10–300 K. An increase of Curie temperature Tc with pressure ΔTcp=2.6 K/kbar was determined from ac susceptibility measurements. The anomalies in resistivity and magnetovolume effects are significantly suppressed by pressure but the temperatures of these anomalies increased with pressure with the same slope as Tc. These results indicate that impurity state of yttrium rather than lattice parameter reduction is responsible for the large increase in the magnetoresistance observed in the doped compound.
