Abstract
We have investigated the magnetic properties of nanocrystalline LaCo0.5Mn0.5O3. The temperature dependence of the imaginary part of the ac susceptibility shows a strongly frequency-dependent maximum at a temperature Tf, which is well below the ferromagnetic transition temperature (Tc∼230 K). The frequency dependence of Tf obeys the Arrhenius relation, f=fo exp(-Ea/kBT), with physically reasonable values of fo=109 Hz and Ea/kB=1518 K. The frequency shift of Tf per decade of frequency is one of the highest values observed in any magnetic system, and a similarly large value is also found in LaCo0.4Mg0.1Mn0.5O3, suggesting that such behavior is intrinsic despite the apparent presence of long-range ferromagnetic order.
