Ferromagnetic insulating state in manganites:55Mn study

Abstract

55Mn NMR was used to study the ferromagnetic insulating state in four different manganites. In all cases the coexistence of two types of regions possessing different NMR spectra and nuclear spin dynamics was found. In the ferromagnetic insulating clusters the hopping frequency fhop of the electron holes is slower comparing to the NMR frequency fres and two lines ascribed to 3+ and 4+ valence states of Mn are observed. The relaxation rate increases rapidly with the increasing temperature, so that these spectra can no longer be observed for temperatures higher than approx 60 K. In ferromagnetic metallic clusters fres < fhop and the motionally narrowed spectrum is observed in a broad temperature interval, as the relaxation remains only moderately fast.
