Jahn-Teller Phonon Anomaly and Dynamic Phase Fluctuations in La{sub 0.7}Ca{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3}

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
Inelastic neutron scattering was used to study the temperature (T) dependence of the lattice excitations in La{sub 0.7}Ca {sub 0.3}MnO {sub 3} . An optical Jahn-Teller phonon exhibits continuous but anomalous damping with increasing temperature in the ferromagnetic-metallic phase and collapses above the Curie temperature T{sub C} (240K). We attribute this anomaly to the growing dynamic phase segregation as T{yields}T{sub C} , thus providing evidence of local fluctuations associated with the short-range polaron or charge/orbital ordering in the ferromagnetic-metallic state.
