| Abstract: | We have evidenced by small-angle neutron scattering at low temperature the coexistence of ferromagnetism (F) and antiferromagnetism (AF) in Pr0.67Ca0.33MnO3. The results are compared to those obtained in Pr0.80Ca0.20MnO3 and Pr0.63Ca0.37MnO3, which are F and AF, respectively. Quantitative analysis shows that the small-angle scattering is not due to a mesoscopic mixing but to a nanoscopic electronic and magnetic "red cabbage" structure, in which the ferromagnetic phase exists in the form of thin layers in the AF matrix (stripes or 2D "sheets"). |
