摘要
We have investigated the microstructure related to the charge and orbital ordering in the manganites Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 by transmission electron microscopy. Electron diffraction clearly shows the presence of the incommensurate structure in the paramagnetic insulator phase of Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 between 180 and 260 K. Our experimental results clearly show that the incommensurate-to-commensurate (IC-to-C) charge-ordering transition was correspondent with the paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition around 180 K. Dark field images also revealed the motion of the discommensurations during the IC-to-C transition. A model of the IC structure which involves the presence of the partial orbital disordering and the complete charge ordering is proposed.
