Field-induced avalanche to the ferromagnetic state in the phase-separated ground state of manganites

F. M. Woodward, J. W. Lynn, M. B. Stone +5

Perovskite manganite compounds such as Pr_(1-x)(Ca_(1-y)Sr_y)_xMn3 can be tuned to exhibit a metastable ground state where two magnetic/crystallographic phases coexist in zero magn…
