We have performed electrical resistivity and DC magnetization measurements as a function of temperature, on polycrystalline samples of phase separated LaPrCaMnO. We have used the General Effective Medium Theory to obtain theoretical resistivity vs. temperature curves corresponding to different fixed ferromagnetic volume fraction values, assuming that the sample is a mixture of typical metallic like and insulating manganites. By comparing this data with our experimental resistivity curves we have obtained the relative ferromagnetic volume fraction of our sample as a function of temperature. This result matches with the corresponding magnetization data in excellent agreement, showing that a mixed phase scenario is the key element to explain both the magnetic and transport properties in the present compound.

We have studied the irreversibility of the magnetization induced by thermal cycles in La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 manganites, which present a low temperature state characterized by the coexistence of phases. The effect is evidenced by a decrease of the magnetizat ion after cycling the sample between 300 and 50 K. We developed a phenomenological model that allows us to correlate the value of the magnetization with the number of cycles performed. The experimental results show excellent agreement with our model, suggesting that this material could be used for the development of a device to monitor thermal changes. The effect of thermal cycling is towards an increase of the amount of the non ferromagnetic phase in the compounds and it might be directly related with the strain at the contact surface among the coexisting phases.

We have studied magnetic and transport properties on different manganese oxide based compounds exhibiting phase separation: polycrystalline La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 (y=0.3) and La1/2Ca1/2Mn1-zFezO3 (z = 0.05), and single crystals of La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 (y =0.35). Time dependent effects indicate that the fractions of the coexisting phases are dynamically changing in a definite temperature range. We found that in this range the ferromagnetic fraction f can be easily tuned by application of low magnetic fields (< 1 T). The effect is persistent after the field is turned off, thus the field remains imprinted in the actual value of f and can be recovered through transport measurements. This effect is due both to the existence of a true phase separated equilibrium state with definite equilibrium fraction f0, and to the slow growth dynamics. The fact that the same global features were found on different compounds and in polycrystalline and single crystalline samples, suggests that the effect is a general feature of some phase separated media.
We have investigated the change in entropy with direct measurements of heat flow as a function of magnetic field at fixed temperatures across the entire phase diagram of the phase-separated (PS) compound La$_{0.25}$Pr$_{0.375}$Ca$_{0.375}$MnO$_3$ (LP CMO). At this composition, the compound shows competing charge-ordered/antiferromagnetic (CO/AF) ground states. At a fixed temperature, we observe an increase in hysteresis in the entropy as a function of the applied field. The heat flux shows progressively irreversible hysteresis, which characterizes the energy barriers between the two competing ground states, as the temperature is lowered. The increase in the heat loss correlates with the increase in magnetic viscosity in the phase-separated state. Keywords: manganites, avalanche effect, phase transition, heat flow, DSC, entropy.

Electrical manipulation of lattice, charge, and spin has been realized respectively by the piezoelectric effect, field-effect transistor, and electric field control of ferromagnetism, bringing about dramatic promotions both in fundamental research an d industrial production. However, it is generally accepted that the orbital of materials are impossible to be altered once they have been made. Here we use electric-field to dynamically tune the electronic phase transition in (La,Sr)MnO3 films with different Mn^4+/(Mn^3+ + Mn^4+) ratios. The orbital occupancy and corresponding magnetic anisotropy of these thin films are manipulated by gate voltage in a reversible and quantitative manner. Positive gate voltage increases the proportion of occupancy of the orbital and magnetic anisotropy that were initially favored by strain (irrespective of tensile and compressive), while negative gate voltage reduces the concomitant preferential orbital occupancy and magnetic anisotropy. Besides its fundamental significance in orbital physics, our findings might advance the process towards practical oxide-electronics based on orbital.

We propose a dielectrophoresis model for phase-separated manganites. Without increase of the fraction of metallic phase, an insulator-metal transition occurs when a uniform electric field applied across the system exceeds a threshold value. Driven by the dielectrophoretic force, the metallic clusters reconfigure themselves into stripes along the direction of electric field, leading to the filamentous percolation. This process, which is time-dependent, irreversible and anisotropic, is a probable origin of the colossal electroresistance in manganites.
