- Phase diagrams in the plane of rA (the average ionic radius, related to the one-electron bandwidth W) and σ2 (the ionic radius variance, measuring the quenched disorder), or bandwidth-disorder phase diagrams, have been established for perovskite manganites, with a three-dimensional (3D) Mn-O network. Here we establish the intrinsic bandwidth-disorder phase diagram of half-doped layered manganites with a two-dimensional (2D) Mn-O network, examining in detail the parent state of the colossal magnetoresistance phenomenon in crystals without ferromagnetic instability. The consequences of the reduced dimensionality, from 3D to 2D, for the order-disorder phenomena in the charge-orbital sectors are also highlighted.

- The relationship between orbital and spin degrees of freedom in the single crystals of the hole-doped Pr1-xCa1+xMnO4, 0.3 <= x <= 0.7 has been investigated by means of ac-magnetometry and charge transport. We show that in an intermediate underdoped region, with 0.35 <= x < 0.5, the "orbital-master spin-slave" relationship commonly observed in half-doped manganites does not take place. The long-ranged charge-orbital order is not accompanied by an antiferromagnetic transition at low temperatures, but by a frustrated short-ranged magnetic state bringing forth a spin-glass phase. We discuss in detail the nature and origin of this true spin-glass state, which, as in the half-doped manganites with large quenched disorder, is not related to the macroscopic phase separation observed in crystals with minor defects or impurities.

Logarithmic growth law in the two-dimensional Ising spin glass state resulting from the electron doping in single-layered manganites

- The ac susceptibility of the electron-doped single-layered manganite La1.1 Sr0.9 Mn O4 is analyzed in detail. A quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AFM) order with Ising anisotropy is stabilized below TN ∼80 K. We show that below TN, a rare two-dimensional (2D) spin-glass (SG) correlation develops with the same Ising anisotropy as the AFM state. Using simple scaling arguments of the droplet model, we derive a scaling form for the ac susceptibility data of a 2D SG, which our experimental data follow fairly well. Due to simplifications in this 2D case, the proposed scaling form only contains two unknown variables, ψν and τ0. Hence, the logarithmic growth law of the SG correlation predicted by the droplet model is convincingly evidenced by the scaling of our experimental data. The origin and nature of this 2D SG state are also discussed.
