Effect of disorder on the thermodynamic phase transition inLa0.70Ca0.30MnO3

Abstract: Thermodynamic analysis of the ferromagnetic phase transition at T C of Y-doped La 0.70 Ca 0.30 MnO 3 reveals that the broad anomaly in the specific heat is consistent with a large pressure effect on T C. This is discussed in terms of random local strain fields originating from a distribution of rare-earth ionic sizes that cause competition between double-exchange and superexchange interactions.

“…The antiferromagnetic orders of these systems were observed by NMR measurements but the thermal anomalies are absent around the corresponding temperatures [18]. The missing entropy problem of the magnetic insulating systems with strong electron correlation is also the case in several intermetallic compounds such as La 2 CuO 4 known as a mother material of high-T c superconductors [19] and Y-doped La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 [20], etc. The local disorders due to the substitution, possible frustrations of competing interactions, and a coupling with other degrees of freedom seem to give a pronounced influence on the long-range character of the 3D magnetic transitions.…”

“…The results reveal the absence of a conventional phase transition close to T N ≈ 246 K, that is, the entropy is not removed when the disordered PM phase changes to an ordered magnetic state. Interestingly, structural disorder caused by the presence of random local strain fields promotes competition between magnetic interactions suppressing the expected peak in the molar heat capacity measurements …”
