摘要：

We have elaborately investigated heavily doped Nd1-xSrxMnO3 with x = 0.57-0.75. 3z(2) - r(2) and x(2) - y(2) orbital orders strongly compete with each other at x = 0.625. The competition causes spatial orbital fluctuation on nanometer scale below the orbital ordering temperature (T-OO similar to 500 K), which is evidenced by the observation of tweed structure using transmission electron microscopy. The orbital fluctuation, which persists down to lowest temperatures, gives rise to anomalous ferromagnetic behavior and concomitant large magnetoresistance well below the Neel temperature (T-N = 220 K).
