Abstract

CaMnO₃ and R_1–xCa_xMnO₃ (R = Nd, Gd; x = 0.0, 0.2) manganites were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The core-level spectra of all the elements in the compounds were analyzed. Chemical shifts reflecting the evolution of the ion valence states depending on composition were identified. Based on an analysis of the multiplet splitting of Mn 3s spectra, the effective spin and charge states of Mn ions were determined. The obtained results expand the existing XPS database on the electronic structure of manganites and confirm the effectiveness of this method for analyzing the valence of manganese in complex oxides.

Keywords

manganites, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, valence state, perovskite-like structure, multiplet splitting
