Observation of charge ordering and the ferromagnetic phase transition in single crystal LSMO using rf transverse susceptibility

Temperature and field-dependent reversible transverse susceptibility (TS) measurements on a La(sub 0.85)Sr(sub 0.15)MnO3 single crystal at radio frequency using a reosnant tunnel-diode oscillator technique are performed. The TS experiments are demonstrated to be useful for studying magnetic anisotropy in the presence of structural and electronic transitions in the strongly coupled systems.
