Correlations between the near-neighbor cation distributions and the spin distributions are identified to gain insight into the spin arrangement within, and on the periphery of a given transition element cation cluster. It is shown that the drop in the magnetic moment is nearly linear with the increase in the mis-site defect concentration for the case of randomly created defects. Implications of the concomitant presence of mis-site defects and oxygen vacancies are also analyzed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.}, year = {1999}, journal = {Applied Physics Letters}, volume = {75}, number = {4}, pages = {537-539}, publisher = {American Institute of Physics Inc.}, issn = {00036951}, doi = {10.1063/1.124440}, note = {cited By 288}, language = {eng}, }
