First-order field-induced transition, magnetoresistance, and giant magnetostriction in single crystals of(La0.4Pr0.6

Abstract: The well-established paraferromagnetic transition (T c ) accompanied by a semiconductor-metal transition in the bilayer manganite La 1.2 Sr 1.8 Mn 2 O 7 was found to be suppressed in single crystals of (La 0.4 Pr 0.6 ͒ 1.2 Sr 1.8 Mn 2 O 7 . However, a first-order field-induced transition was observed accompanied by a huge decrease of the c-axis resistance by a factor of one million. The magnetoresistance data correlate well with an equally large negative magnetostriction. In addition, strong anisotropic proper… Show more

“…With increasing Pr substitution, T c decreases and is eventually quenched. 5,26 Despite the suppression of T c at z=0.6, (La 0.4 Pr 0.6 ) 1.2 Sr 1.8 Mn 2 O 7 is still in close proximity to the FMM phase boundary. Thus, a small local structure variation can modify r A and σ 2 , pushing the system back into the FMM state.…”

“…5 Upon increasing Pr substitution (z=0, 0.2, and 0.4), the paramagnetic insulator (PMI) to ferromagnetic metal (FMM) transition temperature, T c , decreases (120, 90, and 60 K, respectively). 26 At z=0.6, the transition is quenched.…”
