Direct observation of oxygen superstructures in manganites
Résumé
We report the observation of superstructures associated with the oxygen 2p-states in two prototypical manganites using x-ray diffraction at the oxygen K-edge. In the stripe order system Bi0.31 Ca0.69 MnO3 , hole-doped O states are orbitally ordered, at the same propagation vector as the Mn orbital ordering, but no oxygen charge stripes are found at this periodicity. In La 7/8 Sr 1/8 MnO3 , we observe a 2p charge ordering described by alternating hole-poor and hole-rich MnO planes that is consistent with some of the recent predictions.
