Abstract
We present a Bi209 and O17 NMR study of the Mn electron spin correlations developed in the charge ordered state of Bi0.5 Sr0.5 MnO3 and Bi0.5 Ca0.5 MnO3. The unusually large local magnetic field Hloc209 indicates the dominant 6 s2 character of the lone electron pair of Bi3+ ions in both compounds, probably, responsible for high charge ordering temperature TCO. The observed difference in Hloc209 for Bi0.5 Sr0.5 MnO3 to Bi0.5 Ca0.5 MnO3 is suggested to be due to a decrease in the canting of the staggered magnetic moments of Mn3+ ions. The modification of the O17 spectra below TCO demonstrates that the line due to the apical oxygen is a unique local tool to study the development of the Mn spin correlations. In the AF state the analysis of the O17 spectrum of Bi0.5 Sr0.5 MnO3 points toward a bond-centered model of the CO state in this material.
