Phase separation in manganites induced by orbital-ordering strains.

Doped manganite perovskites AMnO(3) exhibit a rich variety of electronic properties, resulting from the interplay of charge (Mn(3+)/Mn(4+)), spin (Mn magnetic moment) and orbital (Mn(3+) Jahn-Teller distortion) degrees of freedom. Magnetisation measurements and ESR spectra have been used to study a series of eight AMnO(3) perovskites, in which the A cation sites are occupied by a distribution of 70% trivalent lanthanide and 30% divalent Ca, Sr or Ba ions. These all have a mean A cation radius of 1.20 Angstrom but different values of the cation size variance sigma(2). A change from orbital disorder to order (cooperative Jahn-Teller distortions) was previously found in the insulating regime at sigma(2) = approximately 0.005 Angstrom(2). This work has shown that co-existence of the orbitally ordered and disordered phases is found in sigma(2)= 0.0016-0.0040 Angstrom(2) samples, with a difference of 40 K between their Curie temperatures. This is ascribed to competition between orbital ordering and microstructural lattice strains. At larger sigma(2) > 0.005 Angstrom(2), the orbital ordering strains are dominant and only this phase is observed. This intermediate temperature phase segregation is one of many strain-driven separation phenomena in manganites.
