Electronic self-organization in the single-layer manganite $\mathrm{P}{\mathrm{r}}_{1-x}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{a}}_{1+x}\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{O}}_4$

Abstract

We use neutron scattering to investigate the doping evolution of the magnetic correlations in the single-layer manganite $\mathrm{P}{\mathrm{r}}_{1-x}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{a}}_{1+x}\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{O}}_4$, away from the $x=0.5$ composition where the CE-type commensurate antiferromagnetic (AF) structure is stable. We find that short-range incommensurate spin correlations develop as the system is electron doped ($x<0.5$), which coexist with the CE-type AF order. This suggests that electron doping in this system induces an inhomogeneous electronic self-organization, where commensurate AF patches with $x=0.5$ are separated by electron-rich domain walls with short range magnetic correlations. This behavior is strikingly different than for the perovksite $\mathrm{P}{\mathrm{r}}_{1-x}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{a}}_x\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{O}}_3$, where the long-range CE-type commensurate AF structure is stable over a wide range of electron or hole doping around $x=0.5$.
