We use neutron scattering to investigate the doping evolution of the magnetic correlations in the single-layer manganite $\rm Pr_{\it 1-x}Ca_{\it 1+x}MnO_4$, away from the $x=0.5$ composition where the CE-type commensurate antiferromagnetic (AF) structure is stable. We find that short-range incommensurate spin correlations develop as the system is electron doped ($x<0.5$), which coexist with the CE-type AF order. This suggests that electron doping in this system induces an inhomogeneous electronic self-organization, where commensurate AF patches with $x=0.5$ are separated by electron-rich domain walls with short range magnetic correlations. This behavior is strikingly different than for the perovksite $\rm Pr_{\it 1-x}Ca_{\it x}MnO_3$, where the long-range CE-type commensurate AF structure is stable over a wide range of electron or hole doping around $x=0.5$.
Spectroscopic evidence for a charge-density-wave condensate in a charge-ordered manganite: Observation of collective excitation mode in Pr$_{\text{0.7}}$Ca$_{\text{0.3}}$MnO$_{\text{3}}$ by using THz time-domain spectroscopy
THz时域光谱用于直接探测电荷有序锰氧化物Pr $_{0.7}$ Ca $_{0.3}$ MnO $_3$的低能(0.5- 5 meV)电动力学。我们揭示了存在一个有限的峰值结构约2- 3 meV远低于电荷间隙$\sim300$ meV。在类比的低能量光学性能的低维材料,我们归因于这种观察到的结构所产生的电荷密度波凝聚的集体激发模式。这一发现提供了重要作用的准一维性质的电荷和轨道有序的Pr $_{0.7}$ Ca $_{0.3}$ MnO $_3$。
We investigate a series of manganese oxides, the La0.225Pr0.4(Ca1-xSrx)0.375MnO3 system. The x = 0 sample is a prototype compound for the study of phase separation in manganites, where ferromagnetic and charge ordered antiferromagnetic phases coexist. Replacing Ca2+ by Sr2+ gradually turns the system into a homogeneous ferromagnet. Our results show that the material structure plays a major role in the observed magnetic properties. On cooling, at temperatures below 100 K, a strong contraction of the lattice is followed by an increase in the magnetization. This is observed both through thermal e…
Orbital Ordering Induced Antiferromagnetic Spin Fluctuations in the Ferromagnetic State of 50 % Hole-doped Manganites: Pr{1/2}Sr{1/2}MnO3 and Nd{1/2}Sr{1/2}MnO3
We report a comprehensive investigation of La0.2Pr0.4Ca0.4MnO3 to clarify the micrometre scale phase separation phenomenon in the mixed valent manganite (La,Pr,Ca)MnO3. The compound shows multiple magnetic transitions, in which the charge-ordered state is converted into a ferromagnetic state in steps with the application of a magnetic field. The ac susceptibility measurements show that the glassy transition at low temperatures does not depend on the frequency, thus indicating the absence of any spin glass behaviour. Magnetization as well as heat capacity measurements indicate that this low tem…
We report a pervasive phenomenon of gradual emergence of negative magnetization in typical $R_{1-x}D_x$MnO$_3$ orthorhombic perovskite manganites in nano form (with $R^{3+}$ being a trivalent high-magnetic-moment ion from the heavier rare-earth elements Gd, Tb, Dy and $D^{2+}$ refers to divalent alkaline elements Sr, Ca, etc.), while the bulk form manifests no negative magnetization. Extensive magnetization studies have been carried out in Gd$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$MnO$_3$ manganites around half doping. We demonstrate experimentally that particle size reduction in nano-form manganites enhances the prope…
With x-ray absorption spectroscopy we investigated the orbital reconstruction and the induced ferromagnetic moment of the interfacial Cu atoms in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$/La$_{2/3}$Ca$_{1/3}$MnO$_3$ (YBCO/LCMO) and La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_4$/La$_{2/3}$Ca$_{1/3}$MnO$_3$ (LSCO/LCMO) multilayers. We demonstrate that these electronic and magnetic proximity effects are coupled and are common to these cuprate/manganite multilayers. Moreover, we show that they are closely linked to a specific interface termination with a direct Cu-O-Mn bond. We furthermore show that the intrinsic hole doping of the cuprat…
In order to reveal many-body interactions in the three-dimensional (3D) perovskite manganite, we have performed an $in$ $situ$ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) on La$_{0.6}$Sr$_{0.4}$MnO$_3$ (LSMO) and investigated the behaviors of quasiparticles. We observe quasiparticle peaks around the Fermi momentum, both in the electron and the hole bands, and clear kinks throughout the hole Fermi surface in the ARPES band dispersion. The isotropic behavior sharply contrasts to the strong anisotropic quasiparticle excitation observed in layered manganites. These results suggest that polar…
Single domain to multi-domain transition due to in-plane magnetic anisotropy in phase separated (La$_{0.4}$Pr$_{0.6}$)$_{0.67}$Ca$_{0.33}$MnO$_{3}$ thin films
相分离的钙钛矿锰氧化物具有具有不同晶体结构、磁性和电子性质的竞争相。因此,应变效应在决定锰氧化物薄膜的磁性方面起着关键作用。本文报道了各向异性应力对相分离锰氧化物(La $_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$)$_{0.67}$ Ca $_{0.33}$ MnO $_{3}$磁性的影响。在面内各向异性应力下在(110)NdGaOPDMATHABMQ衬底上生长的($_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$)$_{0.67}$ Ca $_{0.33}$ MnO $_{3}$薄膜显示出面内磁各向异性和单畴到多畴转变随温度的变化。角度相关的磁化测量也表明,磁化反转发生主要是通过成核$&$传播机制。通过与在(001)SrLaGaOPDMATHABMS衬底上生长的($_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$)$_{0.67}$ $_{0.33}$ MnO $_{3}$薄膜的比较,证实了磁各向异性主要是由衬底诱导的各向异性应力引起的。我们的研究结果提出了在纳米磁性介质中存储磁信息的新途径。
We investigated slow relaxations of the magnetostriction and residual magnetostriction of the phase-separated system (Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_{x}$)$_{0.6}$Sr$_{0.4}$MnO$_3$, in which the metamagnetic transition from a paramagnetic insulating state to a ferromagnetic metallic state is accompanied by a lattice shrinkage. The relaxations are well fitted by a stretched exponential function, suggesting the strong frustraction between the double exchange interaction and Jahn-Teller effect. We have revealed that the Gd substitution suppresses the frozen phase-separated phase at low temperatures and stabilizes …
Detailed investigations of structural, magnetic and electronic transport properties of hole-doped high-entropy rare-earth manganites are presented. The high-entropy samples (LaNdPrSmEu)$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$MnO$_3$ (0$\leq$\textit{x}$\leq$0.5), synthesized using the solid-state technique, show a change in the crystal structure from \textit{Pbnm} to \textit{R-3c} with increasing Sr substitution, attributed to the change in the tolerance factor. Prominent ferromagnetic ordering is observed in the sample with a rhombohedral structure (\textit{x}$\geq$0.3), originating from the dominant double exchange me…
