The interesting transport and magnetic properties in manganites depend sensitively on the nucleation and growth of electronic phase-separated domains. By fabricating antidot arrays in La0.325Pr0.3Ca0.375MnO3 (LPCMO) epitaxial thin films, we create ordered arrays of micrometer-sized ferromagnetic metallic (FMM) rings in the LPCMO films that lead to dramatically increased metal–insulator transition temperatures and reduced resistances. The FMM rings emerge from the edges of the antidots where the lattice symmetry is broken. Based on our Monte Carlo simulation, these FMM rings assist the nucleation and growth of FMM phase domains increasing the metal–insulator transition with decreasing temperature or increasing magnetic field. This study points to a way in which electronic phase separation in manganites can be artificially controlled without changing chemical composition or applying external field.

AbstractCoulomb repulsion among conduction electrons in solids hinders their motion and leads to a rise in resistivity. A regime of electronic phase separation is expected at the first-order phase transition between a correlated metal and a paramagnetic Mott insulator, but remains unexplored experimentally as well as theoretically nearby T = 0. We approach this issue by assessing the complex permittivity via dielectric spectroscopy, which provides vivid mapping of the Mott transition and deep insight into its microscopic nature. Our experiments utilizing both physical pressure and chemical substitution consistently reveal a strong enhancement of the quasi-static dielectric constant ε1 when correlations are tuned through the critical value. All experimental trends are captured by dynamical mean-field theory of the single-band Hubbard model supplemented by percolation theory. Our findings suggest a similar ’dielectric catastrophe’ in many other correlated materials and explain previous observations that were assigned to multiferroicity or ferroelectricity.

Electronic phase separation is known to occur in complex oxides ranging from high-Tc superconductors to colossal magnetoresisitive (CMR) manganites. Accumulating experimental evidences show regions of temperature dependent conducting and insulating regions, whose exact origin is unknown. Theoretically, it is has been shown that these systems are unstable from the strong interplay between the lattice, charge and spin degrees of freedom.The key to understand the electronic phase separation in complex oxides is the structure. Electron diffraction is the only probe that covers the length scales from angstroms to microns. Characterization at these length scales is critical (electronic phase separations are typically about nanometers in sizes). Traditionally, electron diffraction has been played important roles in discovering the new types of phase separations, but has contributed little to the quantitative understanding. The reason is the strong interaction of electrons with matter, which gives both strong inelastic background and multiple scattering.
