“…Depending on the actual concentration x of the element A, the physical properties of manganites can vary noticeably with a change in the temperature and external magnetic field, which, in turn, can induce sequences of phase transitions [1][2][3]. The present report is a continuation of our systematic physical investigation of the Sm 1Àx Sr x MnO 3 manganites [4][5][6][7][8][9], which are of considerable research interest [3,[10][11][12]. Owing to the large difference between the ionic radii of samarium and strontium the Sm 1Àx Sr x MnO 3 manganites exhibit, with a rather typical behavior for manganites, unique physical properties with a vivid manifestation of interactions between the electron, phonon, and magnetic subsystems.…”
