摘要：

Elastic neutron scattering has been used to study the evolution of the long-/short-range charge-orbital (CO-OO), ferromagnetic (FM), and antiferromagnetic (AF) correlations in the single crystals PrCaMnO(x = 0.3, 0.35 and 0.4). In contrast with PrCaMnO(PCMO30), both the long-range CO-OO and AF ordering show precipitous decrease in intensity below 30K, where the short-range FM clusters are formed in the PrCaMnO(PCMO35). Those results provide clear evidence of magnetic phase separation. The doping dependence results of the short-range magnetic correlations indicate that there is a critical doping x(close to x = 0.35) for the existence of phase separation in the CO-OO ground state.
