Abstract

We have investigated the effect of uniaxial pressure (P) on resistivity along the ab plane and c-axis in single crystals of (Sm1−yNdy)0.52Sr0.48MnO3 with y=0, 0.05, and 0.3. The application of pressure along the c-axis shifts the metal-insulator transition (MIT) to higher temperature, while MIT temperature decreases with P when it is applied perpendicular to the c-axis. This behavior is quite different from that observed in hydrostatic pressure and can be explained by considering the P dependence change in equatorial and apical Mn–O–Mn bond angles.
