Abstract
The interplay between different degrees of freedom such as charge, spin, orbital, and lattice has received a great deal of interest due to its potential to engineer materials properties and their functionalities for device applications. In this work, we have explored the crystallographic phase diagram of Ba1-xSrxMnO3 and studied the correlation between two degrees of freedom, namely phonons and spins using magnetization and inelastic light scattering measurements. The system undergoes a series of crystallographic phase transitions 2H → 9R → 4H as a function of doping (Sr) as observed by X-ray diffraction measurements. Investigation of their temperature-dependent magnetization reveals a para- to antiferro-magnetic transition for all the compositions. An Eg phonon in the 9R phase and an E1g phonon in the 4H phase involving Mn/O-vibrations, show anomalous temperature-dependence in the antiferromagnetic phase arising due to spin-phonon coupling.
