Yq. Wang et al., Charge-ordering modulation observed in the (La0.5Mn0.5)MnO3 phase of the multiphased manganite La0.9Sn0.1MnO3 at room temperature, APPL PHYS L, 78(17), 2001, pp. 2479-2481
At room temperature, the lattice image of a modulated structure associated
with charge ordering has been observed in the (La0.5Mn0.5)MnO3 phase of La0
.9Sn0.1MnO3, which is composed of two-type phases: ABO(3) and A(2)B(2)O(7).
Results of electron energy loss spectroscopy and energy dispersive x-ray s
pectroscopy show that the need of the chemical balance and small A-site rad
ius for the (La0.5Mn0.5)MnO3 phase are the main reasons for the appearance
of charge ordering stripes. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
