Abstract

A. Origin of CMR B. Mixed valence manganites C. Magnetoresistivity D. Mössbauer studies
The magnetic behavior of the Sr 0.3 manganite is studied using a local microprobe, 57Co. In contrast with Ca substituted manganites, a much larger fraction of the material exhibits short-range order with superparamagnetic-like behavior even at 80 K. The differences in behavior are attributed to the large mismatch between the ionic radii of La +3 and the divalent substituent Sr +2, which introduces anharmonicity in local vibrations. In common with all other compounds exhibiting negative bulk magnetoresistivity, the Sr 0.3 compound also exhibits very marked softening of lattice as one approaches T c from below. Application of an external magnetic field results in coalescing of nanosized magnetic clusters to form larger ones with better alignment of spins.
