This sample undergoes a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition around T C = 274 K and electrical resistivity ? shows an insulator-metal transition around T IM = 292 K. The sign of thermopower S is positive in the entire temperature range which indicates that majority charge carriers are holes. Thermopower exhibits a peak and thermal conductivity shows a dip at T C in the absence of magnetic field. Large difference between the experimentally determined activation energies of ? and S in the insulating state indicates small polaron hopping dominant conduction above T IM . Polaron formation above T C , was further confirmed from the anomaly observed in thermal expansion (?L/L 0 ) which shows a change in slope at T IM . In the vicinity of T C at 3 T applied field, magneto-thermopower (?61.5%) is larger than magnetothermal conductivity (?12.7%) and magnetoresistance (?49%). © The Royal Society of Chemistry. | Source Title: | RSC Advances | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/213725 | ISSN: | 20462069 | DOI: | 10.1039/c8ra08694j | Rights: | Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International |
