Abstract
The lattice parameters, magnetization and electronic resistivity of La0.85N a0.15MnO3 as a function of temperature were investigated. A simultaneous st ructural, magnetic, and electronic transition was observed. We argued that this is the result of strong electron-lattice coupling and may be a trace o f Jahn-Teller distortion. X-ray photoelectron valence-band spectra measurem ent at room temperature is also carried out and its results suggest the mob ile charge carries had localized below Tc. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
