Abstract
The paramagnetic electron-spin resonance (ESR) linewidth of polycrystalline Nd1−xSrxMnO3 (x=0.3, 0.33, 0.4, and 0.5) increases in a quasilinear manner up to 400 K due to the formation of paramagnetic clusters, which is also confirmed by the observation of an activated behavior of the ESR intensity above TC. Upon cooling, a pair of ferromagnetic resonance lines appear well above the magnetic transition temperature (TC, TN) in all cases. This suggests the presence of ferromagnetic clusters at a temperature T*>TC. The two-line structure below T* is discussed in terms of phase separation and formation of magnetic clusters and their coexistence with a charge-ordered phase for x>0.4.
