Current-Induced First-Order Transition in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3

TL;DR

This paper discusses a first-order transition in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 induced by current, attributed to a non-equilibrium thermal instability rather than an intrinsic phase change.

Contribution

It clarifies the nature of the current-induced transition, attributing it to thermal instability rather than an intrinsic first-order phase transition.

Findings

The transition is due to non-equilibrium thermal effects.

The initial interpretation of a first-order transition was incorrect.

The authors withdrew the paper due to an interpretative error.

Abstract

The paper was withdrawn by the authors, due to an error in interpretation by Weissman. There is a first-order jump, but it's intrinsically a non-equilibrium thermal instability effect.
