Abstract

We report on structural, magnetic, and electrical properties of Sr-doped LaMnO3 single crystals for doping levels 0.4<~x<~0.85. The complex structural and magnetic phase diagram can only be explained assuming significant contributions from the orbital degrees of freedom. Close to x=0.6 a ferromagnetic metal is followed by an antiferromagnetic metallic phase below 200 K. This antiferromagnetic metallic phase exists in a monoclinic crystallographic structure. Following theoretical predictions this metallic antiferromagnet is expected to reveal an (x2y2)-type orbital order. For higher Sr concentrations an antiferromagnetic insulator is established below room temperature.
