Manipulating coincident charge and spin order with pressure and field in a doped manganite
Abstract
The onset of charge order occurs simultaneously with the transition from ferromagnetic metal to antiferromagnetic insulator in Nd_(0.05)Sr_(0.5)MnO_3. The application of hydrostatic pressures P≥15 kbar removes the degeneracy, as recorded in both the electrical resistivity and the magnetic susceptibility. The charge-ordered state moves swiftly to higher temperature with increasing pressure at the expense of the ferromagnetic charge liquid, dominating the energetics. An applied magnetic field H suppresses both the pressure-split charge order and the antiferromagnetism, but charge order preferentially, so by H = 2 T the two transitions are reunited. Finally, depinning domains of charge order with electric field deep in the antiferromagnetic insulator permits us to monitor pressure-induced changes in the charge (poly)crystal.
