Abstract

Mn-55 NMR experiments were carried out at 1.3-4.2 K on six samples of lanthanum manganites, with a hole doping concentration ranging from the antiferromagnetic-insulator to the ferromagnetic-conductor region of the phase diagram. The dependence of the resonance frequencies on external fields is either as expected for ferromagnets (FM) or for antiferromagnets (AF). No indication of a canted phase could be detected. FM and AF resonances were found to coexist in all samples and are grouped in three broad bands, whose frequencies do not depend in first order on hole concentration. Strong evidence of interaction between AF and FM regions was provided by longitudinal relaxation experiments in several samples. An explanation of this behavior is offered in terms of intrinsic phase separation of the holes into FM microdomains. We determine the Mn-55 hyperfine coupling to be isotropic in all cases, with A=6.2 T/mu(B) for the on-site term in the AF domains.
