Electronically smectic-like phase in a nearly half-doped manganite

F. Ye, J. A. Fernandez-Baca, Pengcheng Dai +5

We use neutron scattering to study the spin and charge/orbital ordering (CO-OO) in the nearly half-doped perovskite manganite $P{r}_{0.55}(C{a}_{0.8}S{r}_{0.2}{)}_{0.45}Mn{O}_3$ (PCSMO). On…
