Abstract

Using neutron and x-ray diffraction, we report the discovery of competing ground states near a multicritical point in A -site layer-ordered La1-x Ba1+x Mn2 O6 materials. We demonstrate the dual effects of deliberate disorder on the system's stability, the freezing of the competing states, and the drastic reduction in magnetic fields required for the suppression of charge- and orbital-ordered phases. Our work suggests that quenched disorder is not the primary reason for phase separation and magnetoresistance and that increased doping leads to electronic phase separation. © 2010 The American Physical Society.
