چکیده

The dynamics of first-order electronic phase transitions in complex transition metal oxides are not well understood but are crucial in understanding the emergent phenomena of electronic phase separation. We show that a manganite system reduced to the scale of its inherent electronic charge-ordered insulating and ferromagnetic metal phase domains allows for the direct observation of single electronic phase domain fluctuations within a critical regime of temperature and magnetic field at the metal-insulator transition.

Theory of Manganites

In this review, the present status of theories for manganites is discussed. The complex phase diagrams of these materials, with a variety of spin-charge-orbital ordering tendencies, is addressed using mean-field and Monte Carlo simulation techniques. The stability of the chargeordered states, such as the CE-state at half-doping, appears to originate, in part, in the topology of the zigzag chain...

Coulomb interactions and nanoscale electronic inhomogeneities in manganites.

We study electronic inhomogeneities in manganites using simulations on a microscopic model with Coulomb interactions amongst two electronic fluids-one localized (polaronic), the other extended-and dopant ions. The long range Coulomb interactions frustrate phase separation induced by the large on site repulsion between the fluids. A single phase ensues which is inhomogeneous at a nanoscale, but ...

Direct observation of electronic-liquid-crystal phase transitions and their microscopic origin in La1/3Ca2/3MnO3

The ground-state electronic order in doped manganites is frequently associated with a lattice modulation, contributing to their many interesting properties. However, measuring the thermal evolution of the lattice superstructure with reciprocal-space probes alone can lead to ambiguous results with competing interpretations. Here we provide direct observations of the evolution of the superstructu...

Magnetocaloric Effect in Manganites: Ferromagnetism and Charge- Ordering Effects

A study of the magnetocaloric properties of manganites with ferromagnetic and chargeordering states is presented. Under the application of a magnetic field in the vicinity of the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic and paramagnetic-charge order transitions large changes of the magnetic entropy are found, negative or positive, respectively. The physical mechanisms that contribute to the magnetic entropy ...
