Abstract
An experimental study of the magnetic properties of the Pr0.5Ca0.5Mn0.97Ga0.03O3 perovskite manganite is presented. The ac magnetic susceptibility measurements show that the low T orbitally and charge ordered state has been destabilized by the nonmagnetic impurity substituted for Mn. In this compound, at 2.5 K, well-defined, sharp steps on the field-dependent magnetization curves are observed. This unusual metamagnetic transition is found to be sensitive to thermal cycling. The latter induces a training effect for the transition, which strongly supports the proposed martensitic-like physics of some phase-separated manganites.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of Al substitution on the Mn site of the bilayered half doped manganite was investigated and it was shown that the long-range antiferromagnetic transition temperature as a function of substitution matched well with established quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) Heisenberg systems.

Percolative phase separation underlies colossal magnetoresistance in mixed-valent manganites

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the magnetoresistive response increases dramatically when the Curie temperature (T C) is reduced, and that the massive magnetoresistance in low-T C systems can be explained by percolative transport through the ferromagnetic domains; this depends sensitively on the relative spin orientation of adjacent magnetoric domains which can be controlled by applied magnetic fields.

Phase Separation Scenario for Manganese Oxides and Related Materials

TL;DR: Experimental data reviewed here by applying several techniques for manganites and other materials are consistent with a transition between the antiferromagnetic insulator state of the hole-undoped limit and the ferromagnetic metal at finite hole density through a mixed-phase process.

High-magnetic-field study of the phase transitions of R 1 − x Ca x MnO 3 ( R = Pr , Nd)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the magnetic-field-induced phase transitions of the charge carriers and found that the destruction of the real-space ordering is accompanied with a structural phase transition as well as with the magnetic phase transition and the colossal magnetoresistance effect.
