Abstract
The structural and magnetic properties of LaCo0.9Mn0.1O3 have been studied as a function of pressure by neutron powder diffraction and DC magnetometry. The material is confirmed to exhibit rhombohedral R c symmetry between ambient pressure and 6 GPa. We have determined the bulk modulus B 0 of the sample using a second-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state which yielded: B 0 = 140(9) GPa and V . We report a non-linear increase of the Curie temperature T C from an ambient pressure value of 224.7 K to ∼236 K at a pressure of 4 GPa. Finally, we confirm the glassy-like nature of the magnetism in LaCo0.9Mn0.1O3, which is maintained throughout the pressure range explored.
