Modification of the ground state in Sm-Sr manganites by oxygen isotope substitution

Abstract

The effect of 16O 18O isotope substitution on electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility of Sm1-xSrxMnO3 manganites is analyzed. It is shown that the oxygen isotope substitution drastically affects the phase diagram at the crossover region between the ferromagnetic metal state and that of antiferromagnetic insulator (0.4 < x < 0.6), and induces the metal-insulator transition at for x = 0.475 and 0.5. The nature of antiferromagnetic insulator phase is discussed.
