The temperature evolution of the crystal structure for Nd_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)MnO_3 has been investigated by powder XRD between 125 Kand 725K.The structure can be described with a monoclinic symmetry(space group P21/m)in the temperature range of 125—175 K,while with the increase in temperature between 175 Kand 575 Kthe structure involves a higher orthorhombic symmetry(space group Imma).The rhombohedral structure with space group R-3cis observed at high temperature region of 575—725K.The increase in the magnetization at low temperatures can be ascribed to the field-induced short-range magnetic order of the Nd3+ions.The dc and ac susceptibility data show some anomalies around the FM-PM transition region which can be attributed to the glass behavior and magnetic relaxation.
