Abstract
Neutron spectroscopy is used to probe transverse acoustic phonons near the (2,2,0) Bragg position in colossal magnetoresistive La0.7Ca0.3MnO3. Upon warming to temperatures near Τc= 257 K the phonon peaks soften and damp and a quasielastic component develops that dominates the spectrum near the polaron position at high temperatures. This quasielastic scattering is {approximately equal} 5 times more intense near Τc than in the related compound La0.6Sr0.3MnO3 despite comparable structural distortions in the two. The damping becomes more significant near the polaron position with a temperature dependence similar to that of polaron structural distortions. An applied magnetic field of 9.5 T only partially reverses the damping and quasielastic component, despite smaller fields being sufficient to drive the colossal magnetoresistive effect. The phonon energy, on the other hand, is unaffected by field.Citation
