Absorption peak splitting corresponding to the stretching oscillation of the Mn-O bond, together with a shift of peak position, is observed below the Curie temperature. These features weaken and even disappear as the samples are warmed up to the Curie temperature, which indicates that this anomaly may be a result of phase separation in the compounds.展开更多

The simulated results agree well with the reported experimental data, showing a transition from a charge-disordered (CDO) state embedded with a few ferromagnetic (FM) metallic clusters to a charge-ordered (CO) state, corresponding to the transition from a high-temperature paramagnetic (PM) insulating state to a low-temperature antiferromagnetic (AF) insulating state. Furthermore, we find that the number of AF/CO clusters increases with decreasing temperature, and the clusters start to connect to each other around 250K, which causes percolating in the system. The results further verify that phase separation plays a crucial role in the electrical conductivity of LCMO.展开更多
