Abstract :
Short time relaxation effect in Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3 manganites was observed. The effect is manifested as negative peak of imaginary component of ac magnetic susceptibility near the point of first order phase transition. The effect is explained at the frame of Landau theory of phase transition, where the coexistence of metastable and stable phases is considered.
