Effect of hole doping on the magnetic properties of the Mott-Hubbard antiferromagnetic insulator Nd1−xTiO3

The magnetic properties of the hole(x) doped Mott-Hubbard, antiferromagnetic insulator, NdTiO3, have been investigated in Nd1−xTiO3. For the materials in 0.010(6)≤x≤0.112(4), a correlation between the structural and magnetic properties is discussed with respect to the Ti-O-Ti angles and the Ti-O bond distances. For 0.010(6)≤x≤0.071(10), long-range magnetic order is observed through low-temperature neutron diffraction and heat capacity. Néel …
