  • Abstract
    The longitudinal ultrasonic sound velocity and attenuation of single-phase polycrystalline compound La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 have been measured by a conventional pulse-echo-overlap technique at a frequency of 10 MHz, between 77 K and 270 K. The effects of magnetic field on ultrasonic properties are also investigated. A dramatic stiffening in sound velocity coincided with big attenuation peaks observed near the charge-ordering transition temperature. Under an external magnetic field, the stiffening of the sound velocity shifts to lower temperature, and the attenuation peak was dramatically suppressed. This feature implies extremely strong spin-phonon and electron-phonon coupling originating in the Jahn-Teller effect
