Abstract
A giant softening by 30 cm-1 of the 490 and 620 cm-1 Jahn-Teller and breathing optical phonon modes is observed in Raman spectroscopy below the Curie temperature of single crystalline LaMn O3+δ (0.085≤δ≤0.125). A pseudogaplike suppression of a continuum and a Fano antiresonance at 144 cm-1 appear below the charge-ordering temperature. Upon going through the antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic insulating phase boundary a high-frequency maximum of three-peaks structure evolves to a unstructured, broadened maximum while undergoing a softening in the peak energy. This is interpreted in terms of the presence of fluctuating orbitals and mobile holes which form a stripelike state in the lightly doped, insulating manganites.
