摘要:

通过对多晶和薄膜锰氧化物的透射电子显微镜研究,研究了锰氧化物条纹相与晶格和应变的耦合。在多晶\PCMOfiftwo中,首次观察到在含有$x>0.5$的样品中锁定到$q/a^*=0.5$。这种锁定已被预测为条纹相位的朗道CDW理论的关键部分。因此,可以将CDW朗道理论中的电子-声子耦合的大小限制在电子-电子耦合项的0.04%和0.05%之间。在薄膜样品中,在两个不同衬底上生长的相同厚度的膜表现出不同的波矢。在两个基板上的膜中存在的不同应变可以与通过朗道理论观察到的波矢量有关。它表明,有利于无公度调制的弹性项具有类似的大小的应变和波矢之间的耦合,这意味着应变到超晶格的耦合是出乎意料的强。

英文摘要:

The coupling of the manganite stripe phase to the lattice and to strain has been investigated via transmission electron microscopy studies of polycrystalline and thin film manganites. In polycrystalline \PCMOfiftwo a lockin to $q/a^*=0.5$ in a sample with $x>0.5$ has been observed for the first time. Such a lockin has been predicted as a key part of the Landau CDW theory of the stripe phase. Thus it is possible to constrain the size of the electron-phonon coupling in the CDW Landau theory to between 0.04% and 0.05% of the electron-electron coupling term. In the thin film samples, films of the same thickness grown on two different substrates exhibited different wavevectors. The different strains present in the films on the two substrates can be related to the wavevector observed via Landau theory. It is demonstrated that the the elastic term which favours an incommensurate modulation has a similar size to the coupling between the strain and the wavevector, meaning that the coupling of strain to the superlattice is unexpectedly strong.
