Correlation between coherent Jahn-Teller distortion and magnetic spin orientation in La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}MnO{sub 3}.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B

The magnetic structure and its correlation with the Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion in lightly doped La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}MnO{sub 3} (0.11<{approx}x<{approx}0.185) have been studied as a function of temperature from 10-300 K using neutron powder diffraction. A correlation between the ferromagnetic spin orientation and the coherent JT distortion was observed, indicating a coupling between the structural and the magnetic properties. The arrangement of the spins varies from ferromagnetic ordered mainly along the b axis (x=0.11) to ferromagnetic almost along the c axis (x=0.185) in the Pbnm symmetry.
