The local structure about the Mn site in the half doped system La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 was measured in magnetic fields up 10 T to probe the melting of the charge ordered state. Examination of the Mn-O and Mn-Mn correlations reveal three distinct regions in the structure-field diagram. A broad region with weak field dependence (mainly antiferromatnetic phase below 7.5 T), a narrow-mixed phase region near ~ 8.5 T followed by a ferromagnetic phase region with strong field-structure coupling. At high field the Mn-O radial distribution becomes Gaussian and the Mn-Mn correlations are enhanced - consistent with the dominance of a ferromagnetic phase. The exponential change in resistivity in the first region (observed in transport measurements) is dominated by the reordering of the moments on the Mn sites from CE type antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic order with only a weak change in the local distortions of the MnO6 octahedra.

The melting temperature ($T_m$) of a solid is generally determined by the pressure applied to it, or indirectly by its density ($n$) through the equation of state. This remains true even for helium solidscite{wilk:67}, where quantum effects often lea
d to unusual propertiescite{ekim:04}. In this letter we present experimental evidence to show that for a two dimensional (2D) solid formed by electrons in a semiconductor sample under a strong perpendicular magnetic fieldcite{shay:97} ($B$), the $T_m$ is not controlled by $n$, but effectively by the textit{quantum correlation} between the electrons through the Landau level filling factor $ u$=$nh/eB$. Such melting behavior, different from that of all other known solids (including a classical 2D electron solid at zero magnetic fieldcite{grim:79}), attests to the quantum nature of the magnetic field induced electron solid. Moreover, we found the $T_m$ to increase with the strength of the sample-dependent disorder that pins the electron solid.
Graphene SU(4) quantum Hall symmetry is extended to SO(8), permitting analytical solutions for graphene in a magnetic field that break SU(4) spontaneously. We recover standard graphene SU(4) physics as one limit, but find new phases and new propertie
s that may be relevant for understanding the ground state. The graphene SO(8) symmetry is found to be isomorphic to one that occurs extensively in nuclear structure physics, and very similar to one that describes high-temperature superconductors, suggesting deep mathematical connections among these physically-different fermionic systems.
Mixed valent manganites are noted for their unusual magnetic,electronic and structural phase transitions. The La1-xCaxMnO3 phase diagram shows that below transition temperatures in the range 100-260 K, compounds with 0.2 < x < 0.5 are ferromagnetic a
nd metallic whereas those with 0.5 < x < 0.9 are antiferromagnetic and charge ordered. In a narrow region around x = 0.5, these totally dissimilar states are thought to coexist. Uehara et al. have shown that charge order and charge disorder can coexist in the related compound La0.25Pr0.375Ca0.375MnO3. Here, we present electron microscopy data for La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 that sheds light on the distribution of coexisting phases and uncovers a novel and unexpected phase. Using electron holography and Fresnel imaging, we find micron sized ferromagnetic regions spanning several grains coexisting with similar sized regions with no local magnetisation. Holography shows that the ferromagnetic regions have a local magnetisation of 3.4 +- 0.2 mB/Mn (the spin aligned value is 3.5 mB/Mn). We use electron diffraction and dark field imaging to show that charge order exists in regions with no net magnetisation and, surprisingly, can also occur in ferromagnetic regions.
We reported a systematic change in the average magnetic relaxation rate, after the application and removal of a 5 T magnetic field, in a polycrystalline sample of La0.5Ca0.5MnO3. Magnetic relaxation measurements and magnetization versus field curves
were taken from 10 K to 160 K. The long time behavior of the relaxation curves was approximately logarithmic in all cases. Keywords: Charge Ordering, Relaxation, Magnetic measurements
Structural properties of SmRu$_4$P$_{12}$ in the anomalous magnetic ordered phase between $T^*sim 14 $ K and $T_{text{N}}=16.5$ K in magnetic fields has been studied by x-ray diffraction. Atomic displacements of Ru and P, reflecting the field-induced
charge order of the $p$ electrons, have been deduced by analyzing the intensities of the forbidden Bragg peaks, assuming a cubic space group $Pmbar{3}$. Also, by utilizing high-resolution x-ray diffraction experiment, we observed a splitting of fundamental Bragg peaks, clarifying that the unit cell in the magnetic ordered phase is rhombohedral elongated along the $[1, 1, 1]$ axis. Responses of the rhombohedral domains to the magnetic field, which reflects the direction of the magnetic moment, is studied in detail.
