Abstract

The effect of hydrostatic pressure (P) on the C-axis electrical resistivity (ρc) and ferromagnetic (FM) transition temperature (TC) of Sm0.52Sr0.48MnO3 single crystal has been investigated. At P=0, the strong hysteretic nature of metal-insulator transition (MIT) and the abrupt decrease of ρc by several orders just below TC suggest that the FM transition is discontinuous in nature. The application of pressure strongly decreases ρc, shifts MIT to higher temperature at the rate of 19K∕GPa, and suppresses the hysteresis width. The nature of the FM phase transition would change from discontinuous to continuous at around P=2.5GPa.
