We have shown recently that a small Sr doping of LaCoO3 yields the spin-state polaron with a big spin value and substantial spin orbital coupling [1]. The Sr for La substitution provides the hole doping due to different valency of Sr and La. In addition, it gives rise to a distortion of the crystal field around the doped ion due to the mismatch of ionic radii. The present work is aimed to discriminate between the effect of the charge (hole- or electron) doping and the effect of structural distortion. For that we have carried out a comparative high field electron spin- (ESR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and static magnetization study of lightly doped samples of La0.998A0.002CoO3 (A = Sr, Ca, Y, Sn, Ce). We will discuss the role of the heterovalent hole- (Sr2+, Ca2+) and electron doping (Sn4+, Ce4+) as well as the homovalent doping with Y3+ (rY3+ionrLa3+ion) for the formation of the spin-state polaron in LaCoO3.
