Abstract
Measurements of the isothermal magnetization on La0.27Nd0.4Ca0.33MnO3 have been performed in a field up to 7T at various temperatures. A distinct field-induced metamagnetic transition is observed within a temperature region of 2–180K, resulting from the coexistence of charge ordered (CO), antiferromagnetic (AFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) phases. A temperature and magnetic field dependent irreversible CO–FM transition appears in the lower temperature region. Accompanying the transition an obvious lattice strain was observed, indicating that the transition is related to the change of lattice strain due to strong spin–lattice coupling in La0.27Nd0.4Ca0.33MnO3. These properties make the doped manganites a good candidate for a magnetostriction sensor material.
