Spin states and phase separation in La_{1-x}Sr_{x}CoO_3 (x=0.15, 0.25, 0.35) films: optical, magneto-optical and magneto-transport studies

Abstract

Optical absorption and transverse Kerr effect spectra, resistivity and magnetoresistance of La${}_{1-x}$Sr${}_x$CoO${}_3$ ($x=0.15,0.25,0.35$) films have been studied. The temperature dependencies of the optical and magneto-optical properties of the films exhibit features, which can be attributed to the transition of the Co${}^{3+}$ ions from the low-spin state (S=0) to the intermediate-spin state (S=1) and to orbital ordering of the Co${}^{3+}$ ions in the latter state. The evolution of the properties influenced by doping with Sr is interpreted on the basis of the phase separation model.
