Abstract
Valence states and electronic structures of Cr-doped Nd1/2A1/2Mn1-yCryO3 (NAMO; A=Ca, Sr) manganites have been investigated using x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (PES). All the Cr-doped NAMO systems exhibit the clear metallic Fermi edges in the Mn eg PES spectra near EF. The spectral intensity at EF is higher for Cr-doped Nd1/2Sr2MnO3 (NSMO) than for Cr-doped Nd1/2Ca/2MnO3 (NCMO), reflecting the stronger metallic nature for NSMO than for NCMO. The measured Cr 2p XAS spectra are found to be very similar to that of Cr2O3, indicating that Cr ions in Cr-doped NAMO are in the trivalent Cr3+ states (t32g). The Cr 2p XAS data are consistent with the Cr 3d PES spectra located at ∼1.3 eV below EF and having no emission near EF.
