摘要
A micro-Raman study of high quality Nd0.5Ca0.5MnO3 single crystals is presented, with temperature variation. Twelve A(g) and eight B-2g Raman active modes (simplified symmetry: Pmma space group) have been observed in resonance conditions and compared to the parent and charge ordered compound phonons. The detected Nd0.5Ca0.5MnO3 phonons retrace the magnetic and structural temperature evolutions in the paramagnetic, charge ordered (T-co similar to 250 K) and antiferromagnetic orbital ordered (T-N similar to 160 K) regimes. In particular, at T < T-N, phase separation and also rotational and coherent Jahn-Teller MnO6 distortions prevail.
