Phase transitions induced by a strong magnetic field in electron-doped manganites

The magnetic and magnetoelastic properties of single crystals of electron-doped rare-earth manganites La1−x Sr x MnO3 are studied. Phase transitions from the A-type antiferromagnetic phase to the C-type anti-ferromagnetic phase in a strong magnetic field are revealed in La1−x Sr x MnO3 manganites with a strontium content x = 0.65. A similar phase transition is observed in manganites with a strontium content x = 0.8, at which the La0.2Sr0.8MnO3 manganite is assumed to transform from the C-type antiferromagnetic phase to the G-type antiferromagnetic phase.
