  5. eg t2g eg t2g Ferromagnetic phase 3d orbitals in a perovskite environnement • ferromagnetic double exchange coupling between Mn3+ and Mn4+ gives charge delocalization Control: Temperature, Magnetic field H. At H=7 T we havea homogeneous ferromagnetic phase.

  6. Momentum density of d-orbitals

  7. Magnetic momentum density

  8. MCP along (110)

  9. Temperature dependence

  10. B(r):Fourier transform of MCP Overlap integral along (110) This minimum gives the x2-y2 occupation

  11. Important result The gain of d(z^2) results in an expansion of the apical distance Mn-O (observed in PRB 55, 63 (1997)) and, below Tc, it correlates with FM order.

  12. Summary • We have used a large magnetic field of 7 T which ensures a ferromagnetic homogeneous phase for all studied temperatures. • The choice of the [110] MCP direction makes our occupancy analysis particularly robust because of symmetry constraints. • Changes in occupancy give dramatic structural response to the onset of ferromagnetism.
