Strain-induced first-order orbital flip transition and coexistence of charge-orbital ordered phases in Pr(0.5)Ca(0.5)MnO(3)
Low-temperature transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies have been carried out on pellet and powder samples of Pr0.5 Ca0.5 MnO3. These studies have revealed appearance of a different type of charge-orbital ordered (COO) phase, resulting due to flipping of eg orbitals from...
