Direct observation of orbital ordering in La0.5Sr1.5MnO4 using soft x-ray diffraction.

We report the first direct resonant soft x-ray scattering observations of orbital ordering. We have studied the low temperature phase of La0.5Sr1.5MnO4, a compound that displays charge and orbital ordering. Previous claims of orbital ordering in such materials have relied on observations at the mang...
