Abstract
We report on the magnetic field (H) dependence of the order of the ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) phase transition in Sm0.52Sr0.48MnO3 single crystal. For H<4 T, magnetization and specific-heat data show a first-order phase transition, with sharp drop of magnetization along with hysteresis, and large, symmetric, and narrow specific-heat peak with finite amount of entropy change at TC. By contrast, for H≥4 T, the phase transition becomes essentially second-order with tricritical point exponents β∼0.32 and γ∼1.31. The tricritical point separates first-order (H<4 T) from second-order (H≥4 T) transition.
