Nickel doping hampered the canted antiferromagnetic (AFM) exchange at low temperature and their Neel temperature (TN) decreased from 138 K (x=0) to 102 K (x=0.3). Meanwhile, spin glass, charge ordering and metal-insulator transition are suppressed by Ni addition. The resistivity increases obviously with increasing x due to double exchange interaction channel broken by Ni2+ addition. The resistivity of all samples in low temperature range fits to the Mott′s variable rang hopping (VRH) model, while it fits to nearest neighbor hopping of small polarons model in high temperature range.展开更多
