X-ray absorption measurements of charge-ordered La{sub 0.5}Sr{sub 1.5}MnO{sub 4}
- Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, CO (United States); and others
Perovskite and {open_quotes}layered perovskite{close_quotes}-type manganese oxides show a variety of electronic and magnetic properties such as the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) or the charge ordering. Among them, La{sub 0.5}Sr{sub 1.5}MnO{sub 4} (K{sub 2}NiF{sub 4} structure) which has 0.5 holes per Mn site (d{sup 3.5}) shows the charge-order transition at {approximately}220 K below which Mn{sup 3+} and Mn{sup 4+} sites are believed to order in the CE-type. Although the charge ordering phenomenon has also been observed in the perovskite manganites Pr{sub 0.5}Sr{sub 1.5}MnO{sub 3} or Pr{sub 0.5}Ca{sub 1.5}MnO{sub 3}, the present system has another advantage that it has a layered structure. This enables the authors to address the issue of the orbital symmetry which should be directly related to the charge ordering. In this report, they present the results of x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) on La{sub 0.5}Sr{sub 1.5}MnO{sub 4}, for two polarization angles and two (above and below the transition temperature T{sub CO}) temperatures.
