Magnetism and structural distortion in the La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} metallic ferromagnet
Abstract
Neutron scattering studies on a single crystal of the highly correlated electron system, La{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Sr{sub {ital x}}MnO{sub 3} with {ital x}{approx_equal}0.3, have been carried out elucidating both the spin and lattice dynamics of this metallic ferromagnet. We report a large measured value of the spin wave stiffness constant, which directly shows that the electron transfer energy of the {ital d} band is large. The spin dynamics, including magnetic critical scattering, demonstrate that this material behaves similar to other typical metallic ferromagnets such as Fe or Ni. The crystal structure is rhombohedral, as previously reported, for all temperatures studied (below {approximately}425 K). We have observed superlattice peaks which show that the primary rhombohedral lattice distortion arises from oxygen octahedra rotations resulting in an {ital R}{bar 3}{ital c} structure. The superlattice reflection intensities, which are very sensitive to structural changes, are independent of temperature demonstrating that there is no primary lattice distortion anomaly at the magnetic transition temperature {ital T}{sub {ital C}}=378.1 K; however, there is a lattice contraction. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
