dc.descriptionStructure, transport and magnetic properties have been investigated for layered NaCo1-xMnxO2 materials. With the increase of Mn-doping amount, measurements of x-ray diffraction indicate that the in-plane lattice parameter a decreases progressively, and, conversely, the lattice parameter c increases rapidly. Small amount of Mn doping (i.e. 3% Mn in our work) could result in a metal-insulator transition. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) measurement shows that the Co valence is about 3.3 and remains unchanged with doping. In contrast, the valence of Mn increases rapidly with doping and reaches 3.7 for the sample with x=0.5. The temperature dependence of magnetization of the samples is found to obey the Curie-Weiss law. Some relevant results have been discussed in terms of the disorder effect induced by doping of magnetic ions.
