Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of electron paramagnetic resonance parameters, i.e., g factor, linewidth, and intensity on powder samples of La1-xCaxMnO3 at the commensurate carrier concentrations of x = N/8 (N = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). We demonstrate that the mapping of EPR parameters offers a powerful tool to investigate high-temperature spin dynamics in the phase diagram of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) manganites. Our results convince that the spin-spin relaxation mechanism should dominate the high-temperature paramagnetic regime in CMR manganites.
