Abstract

We present an inelastic light scattering study of single crystalline (La1-y Pry) 1-x Srx Mn O3 (0x0.14, y=0 and x=1/8, 0y0.5). A giant softening up to 20-30 cm-1 of the Mn-O breathing mode has been observed only for the ferromagnetic insulating (FMI) samples (0.11x0.14) upon cooling below the Curie temperature (TC). With increasing Pr-doping the giant softening is strongly suppressed. This is attributed to a coupling of the breathing mode to orbital polarons, which are present in the FMI state. Moreover, the softening that persists to lowest temperature without saturation suggests a continuous, temperature-dependent evolution of orbital polarons below TC.
