Micromagnetic imaging to determine the nature of the ferromagnetic phase transition in La(0.7)Ca(0.3)MnO3.
There is considerable controversy surrounding the nature of the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition in La(0.7)Ca(0.3)MnO3. We have used transmission electron microscopy to determine whether the phase transition is first or second order. On warming through the transition point, the ferromagnetic phase retreats from the sample surface as it is replaced by the paramagnetic phase. This c...
متن کاملHigh magnetic field phase diagram in electron-doped manganites La0.4Ca0.6Mn1−yCryO3
We report the charge-order to ferromagnetic phase transition induced by pulsed high magnetic field and impurity doping effects in manganites La(0.4)Ca(0.6)(Mn(1-y)Cr(y))O3 (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.2). Significant charge-order suppression and ferromagnetic tendency upon the Cr(3+)-doping are evidenced, and three different ground states are identified, namely the charge-order state, the phase separated state, ...
متن کاملMethod for analyzing second-order phase transitions: application to the ferromagnetic transition of a polaronic system.
A new method for analyzing second-order phase transitions is presented and applied to the polaronic system La(0.7)Ca(0.3)MnO3. It utilizes heat capacity and thermal expansion data simultaneously to correctly predict the critical temperature's pressure dependence. Analysis of the critical phenomena reveals second-order behavior and an unusually large heat capacity exponent.
متن کاملSuppression of ferromagnetic double exchange by vibronic phase segregation.
From Raman spectroscopy, magnetization, and thermal expansion on the system La(2/3)(Ca(1-x)Sr(x))(1/3)MnO3, we have been able to provide a quantitative basis for the heterogeneous electronic model for manganites exhibiting colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). We construct a mean-field model that accounts quantitatively for the measured deviation of T(C)(x) from the T(C) predicted by de Gennes doub...
متن کاملMagnetic properties and colossal magnetoresistance of La(Ca)MnO3 materials doped with Fe.
The effect of Fe doping ~,20%! on the Mn site in the ferromagnetic ~x50.37! and the antiferromagnetic ~x50.53! phases of La12xCaxMnO3 has been studied. The same ionic radii of Fe 31 and Mn cause no structure change in either series, yet conduction and ferromagnetism have been consistently suppressed by Fe doping. Colossal magnetoresistance has been shifted to lower temperatures, and in some cas...
