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 K and 575 K the structure involves a higher orthorhombic symmetry (space group Imma). The rhombohedral structure with space group R-3c is observed at high temperature region of 575-725 K. 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. %K manganite %K powder X-ray diffraction %K crystal structure %K magnetic susceptibility %K perovskite %U http://tnuaa.nuaa.edu.cn/ch/reader/view_abstract.aspx?file_no=20170408&flag=1
