Abstract In this paper, the effect of divalent cation substitution on the structure and magnetic properties in La2-2xSr1Ca2xMn2O7 have been investigated systematically using bulk samples with a wide doping concentration range 0.25≤x≤1.00. Replacing trivalent La ions by divalent Ca ions results in the weakening and then disappearance of the long-range ferromagnetic (FM) ordering, the formation of spin canting, antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering and low-temperature spin-glass. These results show that increasing the hole-doping concentration significantly suppresses the FM state. We suggest that this variation of magnetic properties is related to the competition of the FM and AFM interactions resulting from the change of Mn3+/Mn4+ ratio and Jahn-Teller-type lattice distortion of MnO6 octahedra due to the introduction of 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.
