Photoemission data taken with hard x-ray radiation on cleaved single crystals of the bilayered, colossal magnetoresistant manganite La_(2-2x)Sr_(1+2x)Mn_2O_7 (LSMO) with 0.30<x<0.50 are presented. Making use of the increased bulk-sensitivity upon hard x-ray excitation it is shown that the core level footprint of the electronic structure of the LSMO cleavage surface is identical to that of the bulk. Furthermore, by comparing the core level shift of the different elements as a function of doping level x, it is shown that microscopic phase separation is unlikely to occur for this particular manganite well above the Curie temperature.
Steplike Lattice Deformation of Single Crystalline (La$_{0.4}$Pr$_{0.6}$)$_{1.2}$Sr$_{1.8}$Mn$_{2}$O$_{7}$ Bilayered Manganite
本文报道了（La $_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$）$_{1.2}$ Sr $_{1.8}$ Mn $_{2}$ O $_{7}$双层锰氧化物的阶梯状晶格转变，并伴随着磁化和磁阻跃变，研究了场致一级相变的超尖锐性质，即从顺磁性绝缘体到铁磁性金属相的转变，并伴随着电阻的巨大下降.我们的研究结果支持，突然的磁致伸缩是密切相关的轨道挫折存在于不均匀的顺磁绝缘相，而不是竞争的两相之间的马氏体的情况。
Based on the two-variable polynomial model of magnetization, magnetic entropy change of bilayered manganites with $327$-structure and its scaling behaviour with respect to applied magnetic fields are investigated. It's found that the Curie temperature, which is defined as the point at which the partial derivative of magnetization with respect to temperature reaches its maximum, is different from the temperature of peak magnetic entropy change. Thus a mean-field model can not apply to this kind of manganites. In contrast to what has been found in manganites with the $113$-structure, the scaling…
Anomalous pressure effect on the remanent lattice striction of a (La,Pr)$_{1.2}$Sr$_{1.8}$Mn$_{2}$O$_{7}$ bilayered manganite single crystal
本文研究了（La，Pr）$ab$ Sr $_{1.8}$ Mn $_{2}$ O $_{7}$双层锰氧化物单晶在场致铁磁金属（FMM）相变温度范围内的压力效应。为了比较，我们还研究了在相应温度下磁化曲线的压力依赖性。外加压力降低了FMM转变的临界场，增强了回复磁致伸缩。观察到一个异常的压力效应的rexistine晶格弛豫，是类似的压力效应沿c轴的rexistine磁化。这些发现是从双交换相互作用驱动的FMM态通过施加压力而增强的观点来理解的。
Colossal electroresistance and colossal magnetoresistive step in paramagnetic insulating phase of single crystalline bilayered manganite(La$_{0.4}$Pr$_{0.6}$)$_{1.2}$Sr$_{1.8}$Mn$_{2}$O$_{7}$
我们报告了在（La $_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$）$_{1.2}$ Sr $_{1.8}$ Mn $_{2}$ O $_{7}$的顺磁绝缘（PMI）状态下在$ab$ -平面上施加电流引起的低温电阻的显著降低。在较低的温度下观察到一个巨大的电阻效应，达到~ 95%。在低于10 K的低温下，在5 T附近出现一个巨大的磁阻阶跃，并伴随着绝缘体-金属转变的超尖锐宽度。向晶体注入更高的电流会导致阶跃跃迁消失。这些发现与研究晶体的PMI矩阵内钉扎的短程电荷有序簇的存在有密切的关系。
Phase separation and the possibility of orbital liquid states in CMR manganites. A 139La NMR study
139 La NMR自旋-晶格弛豫速率1/T1和射频增强实验提供的证据表明，低温制度的铁磁（FM）相的La 1-xCaxMnO 3隔离成高导电性和导电性差的FM区域，与轨道结构的差异。值得注意的是，相分离伴随着一个额外的NMR信号的外观从FM区域与消失的小磁各向异性。这一特征被归因于具有强烈轨道波动的区域的出现，类似于不均匀FM矩阵内的轨道液体的液滴。

The gigantic decrease of resistance by an applied magnetic field, which is often referred to as colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), has been an attracting phenomenon in strongly correlated electron systems. The discovery of CMR in manganese oxide compounds has developed the science of strong coupling among charge, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom. CMR is also attracting scientists from the viewpoint of possible applications to sensors, memories, and so on. However, no application using CMR effect has been achieved so far, partly because the CMR materials which satisfy all of the required con…

Colossal electroresistance and electronic phase separation in mixed-valent manganites
利用PZT基场效应结构研究了CMR锰氧化物在电场和磁场作用下的输运敏感性。我们不仅发现在4 × 10^5 V/cm处的巨大电阻（CER）约为76%，而且该CER与广泛研究的CMR具有显著的互补性。具体而言，系统的ER最大值（MR最大值）在很大程度上独立于磁（电）场偏置，并且对于相等的电导率值，ER（MR）对于T Tp较低（较高）<Tp than that for T>。效应的大小和系统学强烈地支持分离相分离的图像。
Open Questions in CMR Manganites, Relevance of Clustered States, and Analogies with other Compounds
这是一篇非正式的论文，其中包含了锰氧化物中“我们知道的事情”和“我们不知道的事情”的列表。它改编自作者最近的一本书的结论章节，{ \it纳米级相分离和巨磁阻。The Physics of Manganites and Related Compounds}，Springer-Verlag，柏林，2002年11月。最近锰氧化物研究的主要新结果是发现了在实验和模型模拟中存在不均匀状态的趋势。巨磁阻效应似乎与这些混合相趋势密切相关，尽管需要更多的工作来充分证实这些想法。该文件还包括铜酸盐，稀磁半导体，弛豫铁电体，钴矿，有机和重费米子超导体的信息。这些材料潜在地与锰氧化物共享一些共同的现象学，例如高于反常行为开始的有序温度的温度标度$T^*$。这些材料中的许多还存在低温相竞争。简要讨论了在不涉及铁磁体的化合物中出现类铁磁效应的可能性。总体而言，它的结论是，不均匀的“集群”状态应被视为一个新的范例，在凝聚态物理，因为它们的存在似乎是更常见的比以前预期的。
Multi-scale Phase Modulations in Colossal Magnetoresistance Manganites
大量的实验结果提出了在锰氧化物的巨磁电阻观测到的多尺度相位调制现象。两个关键类型的相位不均匀性直接相关的庞磁电阻（CMR）进行了讨论。第一种类型涉及结构和电子不同相的微米级共存。我们提出了广泛的实验数据的原型系统表现出这样的相共存，（La，Pr）$_{5/8}$ Ca $_{3/8}$ MnO $_{3}$。这些数据表明，在该系统中的金属-绝缘体转变的弛豫输运现象起着关键作用，并在很大程度上负责显着的磁电阻的大小。多相态的相组成受电子关联和马氏体调节应变的影响。第二种类型的非均匀状态是在高温下通常在锰氧化物中发现的顺磁状态中实现的。在这种状态下，纳米级的结构相关性与纳米级的电荷/轨道有序区域进行观察。众多的锰氧化物系统的实验研究表明，这些相关性是通用的正交混合价锰氧化物，相关区域的CMR效应中起着至关重要的作用。
Using a two-band double-exchange model with Jahn-Teller lattice distortions and super-exchange interactions, supplemented by quenched disorder, at electron density $n=0.65$, we explicitly demonstrate the coexistence of the $n$ = 1/2-type ($π, π$) charge-ordered and the ferromagnetic nanoclusters above the ferromagnetic transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$ in colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) manganites. The resistivity increases due to the enhancement of the volume fraction of the charge-ordered and the ferromagnetic nanoclusters with decreasing the temperature down to $T_{\rm c}$. The ferromagnet…
Ultrafast collective dynamics of short-range charge/orbital ordering fluctuations in colossal magnetoresistive oxides
巨磁电阻锰氧化物是一种自旋、电荷、轨道和晶格自由度之间存在强耦合的高关联系统，导致复杂的相图和多种有序形式的共存。例如，MnO $_{6} octahedra in CMR manganites and compete with the electron itinerancy favored by double exchange. However, access to the ordered dynamical state has been challenging, mostly due to intrinsic experimental difficulties in measuring fast short-range correlations. Here, we report on a strongly damped low-energy collective mode originating from fast short-range CO fluctuations in La}$ _{0.67}Ca $_{0.33}Mn{O}$ _{3}（LCMO）单晶和薄膜的纳米级电荷/轨道有序（CO）涨落似乎与Jahn-Teller（JT）畸变协同作用。我们阐明了集体模式的色散关系和依赖于平均A位离子半径，r$_{A}，和空穴掺杂浓度。我们的研究结果表明，第一次CMR锰氧化物中的动态…
