Abstract
The crystal structure, magnetization, and resistivity of the La0.8Ba0.2MnO3 single crystal are studied in the vicinity of the structural phase transit ion point. The x-ray experiments show the Pbnm and R (3) over bar c phases to coexist at least within the interval 185 < T < 196 K. The thermal hyster esis of magnetization and resistivity is observed. The interrelations betwe en structural, magnetic, and resistivity properties are analyzed in terms o f simple phenomenological theory.
