Abstract:
Magnetization, resistivity, and specific heat were studied systematically in the absence and presence of magnetic field in Pr(0.7)Pb(0.3)MnO(3) single crystals, in which electronic phase separation occurs near the ferromagnetic/metallic-paramagnetic/insulating phase transition and the metal-insulator transition temperature is much higher than the Curie temperature. These measurements allow us to extract some fundamental physical parameters such as Fermi energy, density of states at the Fermi energy, Debye temperature, and interaction among electrons, phonons, and magnons. Furthermore, the magnetic entropy was studied around the phase transition temperature regime. It was found that a magnetic entropy change associated with the transition from the connected ferromagnetic phase to isolated superparamagnetic clusters appeared near the metal-insulator transition temperature following a large magnetic entropy change near the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
