Multicritical end-point of the first-order ferromagnetic transition in colossal magnetoresistive manganites

Abstract

We have studied the bandwidth-temperature-magnetic field phase diagram of RE(0.55)Sr(0.45)MnO(3) colossal magnetoresistance manganites with ferromagnetic metallic (FM) ground state. The bandwidth (or equivalently the double exchange interaction) was controlled both via chemical substitution and hydrostatic pressure with a focus on the vicinity of the critical pressure p* where the character of the zero-field FM transition changes from first to second order. Below p* the first-order FM transition extends up to a critical magnetic field, H_cr. It is suppressed by pressure and approaches zero on the larger bandwidth side where the surface of the first-order FM phase boundary is terminated by a multicritical end-point (p*~32 kbar, T*~188 K, H*=0). The change in the character of the transition and the decrease of the CMR effect is attributed to the reduced CO/OO fluctuations.
