Abstract

Anomalous magnetic susceptibility χ has been observed in mono-and polycrystalline (ceramic) samples of lanthanum strontium manganites. The oscillations of χ observed for single crystal samples in the vicinity of the Curie temperature (and in the paramagnetic region) are explained by the existence of magnetic clusters. The appearance of susceptibility oscillations in ceramic samples is attributed to the formation of magnetic clusters, which may occur both in grains (at the interface between ferro-and antiferromagnetic phases) and at the grain boundaries.
