Abstract
The magnetic properties of the orbitally degenerate quasi-one-dimensional cobaltites SrxBa1−xCoO3 are explained on the basis of a phase separation phenomenon. Noninteracting magnetic particles embedded in a nonferromagnetic matrix develop in the system. Details are given about the electronic and magnetic structure for x=0,0.2x=0,0.2 and 0.5. At x=0.5x=0.5, the geometry of the CoO6 trigonally distorted octahedra changes by about 1–2%, but magnetic particles get 3 times bigger, compared to the parent compound, with the corresponding changes in the magnetic properties. The electronic structure of the Co4+ ion, however, stays roughly unchanged.
