M. Tokunaga et al., MAGNETIC-FIELD-INDUCED COLLAPSE OF CHARGE ORDERING AND ITS BANDWIDTH DEPENDENCE IN R1 2CA1/2MNO3 (R=PR, ND AND SM)/, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 246, 1998, pp. 491-494
Magnetization measurements were performed on manganites with the perov
skite structure R1/2Ca1/2MnO3 (R=Pr, Nd and Sm) in pulsed high magneti
c fields up to 100 T. In the charge-ordered state, application of magn
etic induced metamagnetic-like phase transitions with hystereses sugge
sting collapses of the charge ordering. Experiments on various crystal
s with different R revealed a distinct relationship between the tolera
nce factor and transition fields. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All r
