The Magnetic/Electrical Phase Diagram of Cr-Doped Antiperovskite Compounds GaCFe3−xCrx (0≤x≤0.9)

We report the effect of Cr doping on the structural, magnetic, and electrical transport properties in Cr-doped antiperovskite compounds GaCFe3−xCrx (0≤x≤0.9). With increasing the Cr content x, the lattice constant increases while both the Curie temperature and the saturated magnetization decrease gr...

description We report the effect of Cr doping on the structural, magnetic, and electrical transport properties in Cr-doped antiperovskite compounds GaCFe3−xCrx (0≤x≤0.9). With increasing the Cr content x, the lattice constant increases while both the Curie temperature and the saturated magnetization decrease gradually. The electrical resistivity shows different behaviors as a function of x. For x≤0.6, there exists a semiconductor-like behavior below a certain temperature which decreases with increasing x. In contrast, for 0.7≤x≤0.9, the resistivity shows a metallic behavior in the whole temperature measured (2–350 K). In particular, the Fermi-liquid behavior is obtained below 70 K. Finally, based on the magnetic and electrical properties of GaCFe3−xCrx (0≤x≤0.9) a magnetic/electrical phase diagram was plotted.
