摘要
The magnetic phase separation in single crystals of the Pr0.67Ca0.33MnO3 manganites is studied using polarized small angle neutron scattering. The measured spectra give a fractal dimension consistent with a configuration in ferromagnetic filaments of nanometric diameter. We argue here that localized charge carriers hop in a random walk fashion mediating a ferromagnetic "hopping exchange" which coexists with superexchange to create the filamentary phase separation. The arguments for this physical picture are validated by Monte Carlo simulations, where magnetism and transport are treated in a self-consistent manner.
