It is argued that both transitions observed in 50%-doped manganites, at the N\'{e}el temperature ($T_{\rm N}$) and the so-called charge ordering temperature ($T_{\rm CO}$), are magnetic. $T_{\rm N}$ corresponds to the order-disorder…

The phase diagram of $Pr_{1-x}Ca_xMnO_3$ is modified x $\le$ 0.3, which suggests a reevaluation of the phase diagram of other manganites in that doping region. Rather than an orbital ordered phase reaching up to high temperatures of…
