Direct observation of the bandwidth-disorder induced variation of charge/orbital ordering structure in RE(0.5)(Ca(1-y)Sr(y))(1.5)MnO(4)
Abstract
Changes in the charge/orbital ordering (CO/OO) structure with the bandwidth of the e(g) band and quenched disorder were investigated in doped manganites RE(0.5)(Ca(1-y)Sr(y))(1.5)MnO(4)(RE = Pr,Eu) with a single-layer perovskite structure. A systematic study of the modulation structure associated with the CO/OO phase demonstrated that the long-range commensurate structure changes to a short-range incommensurate structure with increasing Sr content through the enhancement of the bandwidth and quenched disorder in these systems. At the same time, the transition temperature of CO/OO (T(CO/OO)) decreases. Changes in structure and T(CO/OO) with different A-site combinations reveal that the CO/OO phase is strongly suppressed by the widening of the e(g) band and the stronger quenched disorder in these layered manganites.
