Stripes induced by orbital ordering in layered manganites.

چکیده
Spin-charge-orbital ordered structures in doped layered manganites are investigated using an orbital-degenerate double-exchange model tightly coupled to Jahn-Teller distortions. In the ferromagnetic phase, unexpected diagonal stripes at x = 1/m ( m = integer) are observed, as in recent experiments. These stripes are induced by the orbital degree of freedom, which forms a staggered pattern in the background. A pi shift in the orbital order across stripes is identified, analogous to the pi shift in spin order across stripes in cuprates. At x = 1/4 and 1/3, another nonmagnetic phase with diagonal static charge stripes is stabilized at intermediate values of the t(2g)-spins exchange coupling.

Rotation of orbital stripes and the consequent charge-polarized state in bilayer manganites.
Nanoscale self-organization of electrons is ubiquitously observed in correlated electron systems such as complex oxides of transition metals. The phenomenon of charge ordering (CO) or the formation of charge stripes, as observed for layered-structure cuprates and nickelates, is one such example. Among them, CO in manganites is closely tied to the orbital degree of freedom of 3d electrons, leadi...
متن کاملDirect observation of oxygen superstructures in manganites.
We report the observation of superstructures associated with the oxygen 2p states in two prototypical manganites using x-ray diffraction at the oxygen K edge. In the stripe order system Bi0.31Ca0.69MnO3, hole-doped O states are orbitally ordered, at the same propagation vector as the Mn orbital ordering, but no oxygen charge stripes are found at this periodicity. In La7/8Sr1/8MnO3, we observe a...
متن کاملOrbital Ordering of Manganites Studied by Soft X-ray Linear Dichroism
Correlated-electron materials such as transition-metal oxides have attracted enormous interest because of their interesting physical properties, including superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance. An electron in a correlated electron material has three attributes: charge, spin, and orbital. The orbital represents the shape of the electron distribution, and the orbital degree of freedom ...
متن کامل0 Competition of charge , orbital , and ferromagnetic correlations in layered manganites
The competition of charge, orbital, and ferromagnetic interactions in lay-ered manganites is investigated by magneto-Raman scattering spectroscopy. We find that the colossal magnetoresistance effect in the layered compounds results from the interplay of the orbital and ferromagnetic double-exchange correlations. Inelastic scattering by charge-order fluctuations dominates the quasiparticle dynam...
متن کاملLocal bias induced ferroelectricity in manganites with competing charge and orbital order states.
Perovskite-type manganites, such as Pr1-xCaxMnO3, La1-xCaxMnO3 and La1-xSrxMnO3 solid solutions, are set forth as a case study of ferroelectricity formation mechanisms associated with the appearance of site- and bond-centered orbital ordering which breaks structural inversion symmetry. Even though the observation of macroscopic ferroelectricity may be hindered by the finite conductivity of mang...
