Abstract:
The evolution of the crystal structure and the magnetic properties was investigated in the La0.5Sr0.5CoO(3-δ) (0 < δ < 0.3) system as a function of the oxygen deficit δ. Compounds with a low oxygen deficit (δ < 0.1) are shown to be predominantly ferromagnetic, while further increase (δ > 0.1) gradually changes the magnetic structure from ferromagnetic to G-type antiferromagnetic and causes a structural transition from rhombohedral to cubic symmetry. Resistivity and magnetoresistance at low temperature increase with increasing of oxygen vacancies. It is argued that oxygen reduction facilitates stabilization of the high spin state of Co(3+) ions. Antiferromagnetic interactions between cobalt ions in the high spin state are found to dominate in compounds with the oxygen deficit δ > 0.18.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
