Abstract The effect of divalent cation substitution on the structure and magnetic properties of La1.2Sr1.8-xCaxMn2O7 (x = 0－0.900) is investigated in this paper. Partly replacing divalent cation Sr2+ by Ca2+ ions results in the weakening and then disappearance of long-range ferromagnetic ordering, and the formation of spin canting and low-temperature spin-glass. Based on structural analysis by Rietveld profile fitting, we suggest that this variation of magnetic property be related to a Jahn－Teller-type attice distortion of MnO6 octahedra due to the introduction of the smaller sized Ca2+ ions.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
