Abstract


Magnetic measurements were carried out on La0.9Ca0.1CoO3 single crystals. In the absence of applied magnetic field, this compound is an insulator down to 4.2 K. Results of magnetization measurements suggest a spin glass ground state. An applied field of 5T drives the insulator ground state to a ferromagnetic metallic state. This field induces antiferromagnetic low spin/spin-glass-like mixed spin transition. The energy gap for ls/hs transition was estimated to be 0.12 meV.
