Abstract

Raman spectra have been investigated for a single crystal of La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 that shows colossal magnetoresistance around the Curie temperature Tc = 126K. Several broad phonon peaks grow with decrease of temperature down to TC but disappear below TC, which can be clearly ascribed to a change in the charge/orbital correlation by comparison with the spectra for the charge/orbital ordered states of the layered manganites (La0.5Sr1.5MnO4 and LaSr2Mn2O7). Such a real-space charge density fluctuation is also observed to cause the low-energy diffuse Raman response, the B1g component of which is critically suppressed below TC as well.
