Abstract

A 55 Mn nuclear magnetic resonance study of a layered perovskite La 1.4 Sr 1.6 Mn 2 O 7 is reported. Between 4.2 K and the magnetic ordering temperature, 100 K , zero field spin echo spectra consist of signals corresponding to the double-exchange (DE) states and charge localized Mn 3+ , Mn 4+ states. This indicates occurrence of electronic and magnetic phase segregation into ferromagnetic metallic and ferromagnetic insulating regions. Above 100 K a DE line is observed, revealing the presence of long lived metallic clusters. The relation of results to magnetoresistive properties of the compound is discussed.
