چکیده
For strongly correlated oxides, it has been a long-standing issue regarding the role of the chemical ordering of the dopants on the physical properties. Here, using unit cell by unit cell superlattice growth technique, we determine the role of chemical ordering of the Pr dopant in a colossal magnetoresistant (La(1-y)Pr(y))(1-x)Ca(x)MnO3 (LPCMO) system, which has been well known for its large length-scale electronic phase separation phenomena. Our experimental results show that the chemical ordering of Pr leads to marked reduction of the length scale of electronic phase separations. Moreover, compared with the conventional Pr-disordered LPCMO system, the Pr-ordered LPCMO system has a metal-insulator transition that is ∼100 K higher because the ferromagnetic metallic phase is more dominant at all temperatures below the Curie temperature.

Chemical potential shift in La 1 − x Sr x MnO 3 : Photoemission test of the phase separation scenario
– We have studied the chemical potential shift in La1−xSrxMnO3 as a function of doped hole concentration by core-level x-ray photoemission. The shift is monotonous, which means that there is no electronic phase separation on a macroscopic scale, whereas it is consistent with the nano-meter scale cluster formation induced by chemical disorder. Comparison of the observed shift with the shift dedu...
متن کاملAntiferromagnetism and phase separation in electronic models for doped transition-metal oxides
We investigate the ground state properties of electronic models for doped transition-metal oxides. An effective t J like Hamiltonian is derived from the case of strong Hund coupling between the conduction electrons and localized spins by means of the projection technique. An attractive interaction for conduction electrons and an antiferromagnetic coupling of the localized spin are obtained. A l...
متن کاملStriped multiferroic phase in double-exchange model for quarter-doped manganites.
The phase diagram of quarter-hole-doped perovskite manganites is investigated using the double-exchange model. An exotic striped type-II multiferroic phase, where 25% of the nearest-neighbor spin couplings are orthogonal to each other, is found in the narrow-bandwidth region. Comparing with the spiral-spin ordering phase of undoped manganites, the multiferroic Curie temperature of the new phase...
متن کاملESR and Magnetization Studies of Bi-manganites
The electron spin resonance (ESR) and magnetization (M) studies of Bi-manganites were undertaken to understand the coexistence of various magnetic phases and their effect on charge ordering as a function of composition and temperature. The studies on several compositions of Bi-manganites reveal that the electronic phase separation (PS) is an in‐ trinsic phenomenon in this system.
متن کاملStrain selection of charge and orbital ordering patterns in half-doped manganites
Perovskite manganites of chemical formula Ln12xAkxMnO3 ~Ln is a lanthanide rare earth such as La or Pr; Ak is a divalent alkali such as Sr or Ca! present a complex phase diagram associated with the interplay of charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom. Charge and orbitally ordered phases appear in wide parameter ranges, for example, in La12xCaxMnO3 for x>0.5, and in Pr12xCaxMnO3 fo...
