Effect of charge orderingÕdisordering on Raman line shape in manganites

چکیده
Manganites are characterized by a fascinating interplay of double exchange, spin and charge fluctuations, and orbital excitations. In this paper we focus attention on charge fluctuations and concomitant charge ordering/disordering, influenced by phonons. Our theoretical results, based on a resolvent expansion of the time-development operator ~propagator!, are specially tailored for calculating normal mode correlation functions, relevant for optic modes and the associated Raman scattering. The computed line shape, and the resultant line shift and linewidth, are compared with experiments in Pr0.63Ca0.37MnO3. While the line shift data agree well with theory, the linewidth results indicate that charge ~dis!ordering may not be the only relaxation mechanism in this system.

0 Competition of charge , orbital , and ferromagnetic correlations in layered manganites
The competition of charge, orbital, and ferromagnetic interactions in lay-ered manganites is investigated by magneto-Raman scattering spectroscopy. We find that the colossal magnetoresistance effect in the layered compounds results from the interplay of the orbital and ferromagnetic double-exchange correlations. Inelastic scattering by charge-order fluctuations dominates the quasiparticle dynam...
متن کاملStaircase effect in metamagnetic transitions of charge and orbitally ordered manganites
Staircase effect in metamagnetic transitions of charge and orbitally ordered manganites. Abstract This paper reports on peculiar metamagnetic transitions which take place in antiferromagnetic, charge and orbitally ordered (AFCOO) manganites. At very low temperatures, the virgin magnetization curves of some of these compounds exhibit several, sharp steps giving rise to a staircase-like shape. Th...
متن کاملRaman scattering study of Nd 1 − x Sr x MnO 3 ( x = 0 . 3 , 0 . 5 )
We report on polarized Raman scattering of single crystals of Nd1−x SrxMnO3 (x = 0.3, 0.5). Raman spectra of Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3 show a significant change through the metal–insulator transition. In the ferromagnetic metallic phase phonon modes grow in intensity and number while the electronic continuum becomes more pronounced. We suggest that these effects are due to the strong competition between t...
متن کاملRaman Scattering in Charge Ordered Pr0.63Ca0.37MnO3 : Anomalous Temperature Dependence of Linewidth
– We report on the evolution of the Raman-active Ag phonon modes in the chargeordered manganite Pr0.63Ca0.37MnO3 as a function of temperature from 300K to 25K. Our studies reveal that the linewidths of the Ag(2) and Ag(4) phonons increase as temperature decreases. This anomalous temperature dependence of phonon lineshapes, seen for the first time in charge ordered manganites, can be quantitativ...
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.
