Abstract
The dependence of the La-139 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin- echo signal on temperature and on the power of the applied radio- frequency pulse is investigated in zero applied magnetic field in La0.7Ca0.3Fe0.09Mn0.91O3 (LCFMO) with Curie temperature (TC) of about 125 K. Plots of the spin-echo signal versus the NMR pulse power reveal two maxima, out of which the high-power component is observed up to temperatures above TC. It is also found that while the temperature dependence of the NMR signal amplitude follows the value of static magnetization M(T-C), the NMR frequency, which is related to the local field at La positions, decreases only slowly and the La-139 NMR signal is preserved at least to 220 K. These results confirm the existence of large ferromagnetic clusters with long life- times above TC in LCFMO.
