Abstract

We present a detailed study of the static magnetization M (H, T) in the vicinity of the ferromagnetic–paramagnetic (FM–PM) phase–transition temperature (TC) in polycrystalline Sm0.55−xPrxSr0.45MnO3 (0.3 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) manganites. The critical exponents β, γ, and δ are determined by using various techniques such as modified Arrott plot, Kouvel–Fisher method and critical isotherm analysis, and are found to be β = 0.255 ± 0.021 and γ = 0.957 ± 0.014 with TC = 226 K for Sm0.25Pr0.3Sr0.45MnO3 and β = 0.324 ± 0.024 and γ = 1.212 ± 0.027 with TC = 254 K for Sm0.15Pr0.4Sr0.45MnO3. A careful analysis of the magnetic data recorded in Sm0.55−xPrxSr0.45MnO3 demonstrates the existence of a tri-critical point that separates discontinuous first-order magnetic transition (FOMT) from continuous second-order magnetic transition (SOMT).
