The longitudinal and transverse ultrasonic velocities and attenuations, the transport and magnetic properties, as well as the structural changes of polycrystalline La0.25Ca0.75Mn0.93Cr0.07O3 have been studied systematically. A velocity minimum and an attenuation peak for both longitudinal and transverse waves occur around the temperature Tco of charge ordering transition accompanied by the structural change from a cubic to a tetragonal phase. Near temperature TN (where the c-axis length shows a maximum), the sharp decrease of velocities for both waves and the appearance of a longitudinal attenuation peak are attributed to the antiferromagnetic transition together with the anomalous change in c-axis length of the tetragonal phase. The simultaneous occurrence of the ultrasonic, lattice, charge ordering, magnetic, and transport anomalous characteristics indicates the strong electron–phonon and spin–phonon interactions in the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
