Arrested kinetics of the CO-I to FM-M transition and the phase separated glassy state in manganites: a Comment on Kundhikanjana et al PRL 115 (2015) 265701 and Kundhikanjana et al arXiv:1306.3065v1 (2013)

TL;DR

This paper discusses the slowed kinetics and phase separation phenomena in manganites during the transition from charge-ordered to ferromagnetic metallic states, commenting on prior experimental findings.

Contribution

It provides a critical analysis of previous experimental results, highlighting the arrested kinetics and glassy states in manganites during phase transitions.

Findings

Identification of arrested transition kinetics

Observation of phase-separated glassy states

Critical commentary on prior experimental interpretations
