Steplike Lattice Deformation of Single Crystalline (La $_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$ ) $_{1.2}$ Sr $_{1.8}$ Mn $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ Bilayered Manganite

Abstract

We report a steplike lattice transformation of single crystalline (La $_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$ ) $_{1.2}$ Sr $_{1.8}$ Mn $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ bilayered manganite accompanied by both magnetization and magnetoresistive jumps, and examine the ultrasharp nature of the field-induced first-order transition from a paramagnetic insulator to a ferromagnetic metal phase accompanied by a huge decrease in resistance. Our findings support that the abrupt magnetostriction is closely related to an orbital frustration existing in the inhomogeneous paramagnetic insulating phase rather than a martensitic scenario between competing two phases.
