Abstract

We report x-ray scattering studies of polarons and tilt ordering in the high-temperature, paramagnetic insulating phase of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3. The temperature dependence of scattering due to individual and correlated polarons was measured, and the latter was found to disappear at ∼400 K. The scattering due to tilt ordering, which was observed by tuning the incident photon energy near the La L1 edge, was also measured as a function of temperature. The destruction of tilt ordering at ∼690 K is believed to be associated with the orthorhombic-rhombohedral structural transition.
