Neutron diffraction and ESR studies of pseudocubic Nd0.75Ba 0.25MnO3 and its unusual critical behavior above T C [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Results of structural neutron diffraction study and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements are presented for insulating Nd1- xBaxMnO3 (x=0.25) with the Curie temperature TC≈129K. Its pseudocubic structure reveals the definite distortions to a lower symmetry. Detailed analysis of the data is performed in the frame of Pbnm space group in a temperature range 4.2-300 K. The compound is found to exhibit the Jahn-Teller (JT) transition at TJT≈250 K. Character of the coherent JT distortions and their temperature evolution differ from those of the x=0.23 manganite. The ESR results correspond to behavior of a 3D isotropic ferromagnet above T*≈143K (τ*≈0.12≤τ<1, τ=(T-TC)/TC). It is shown that an anisotropic exchange coupling of the Mn and Nd magnetic moments may give a substantial contribution in ESR linewidth masking its critical enhancement. The different temperature treatments (slow/fast cooling/heating with/without external magnetic field) of the sample reveal a temperature hysteresis of the ESR spectra below T* indicating an anomalous response in the paramagnetic region. The study of the magnetic phase transition in the x=0.23 and 0.25 NdBa manganites suggests a change in its character from the second to first order at T*. The conventional free energy including the magnetization and magnetic field failed to describe this first-order transition. The unconventional critical behavior is attributed to an orbital liquid metallic phase that begins to coexist with the initial orbital-ordered phases below T*. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
