The ferromagnetic phase transition in LaMnO 3.14 is investigated by measuring the dc magnetization as a function of magnetic field and temperature. Modified Arrott plot and Kouvel Fisher analysis yield estimates for the critical exponents β, and γ, with values between that predicted for the Heisenberg model and mean field theory. At low fields we found an anomalous small value of β, indicating that the critical behavior is influenced by the range of magnetic fields used.The discovery of the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in hole-doped LaMnO 3 perovskites has attracted renewed interest in this class of materials, and numerous papers appeared in which the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition was investigated [1][2][3][4][5]. In the study of the critical behavior associated with this transition there is considerable disagreement among the experimental estimates for the exponent β, associated with the temperature dependence of spontaneous magnetization. Lofland et al. [1] found for La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 a value of β = 0.45, indicating a mean-field-like behavior. Ghosh et al. [2], studying the same compound, found a rather low value, β = 0.37, which is close to that predicted by the Heisenberg model. For the La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 system the situation is more controversial. While Heffner et al. [3] performed muon spin relaxation measurements which points to a second order transition, neutron diffraction [4] and magnetization studies [5] indicate that the transition is discontinuous.In the present report we have investigated the critical behavior at the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition of a LaMnO 3+δ (δ = 0.14) polycrystalline sample. Stoichiometric LaMnO 3 is antiferromagnetic at low temperatures. The oxygen excess δ results in La and Mn vacancies that induces a Mn 3+ -Mn 4+ mixed-valence state, responsible for ferromagnetism via double-exchange mechanism. The sample was prepared in polycrystalline form by a citrate technique, as described elsewhere [6]. The determination of δ = 0.134, corresponding to 27% of Mn 4+ , was performed by thermogravimetric analysis. The final material was characterized by x-ray diffraction. Detailed dc magnetization measurements were performed in a commercial magnetometer. The results are corrected for the demagnetization factor of the sample.
