| Abstract: |
| The phase separation and magnetic-field-induced transition of the antiferromagnetic charge-ordered insulator (AFI) phase into the ferromagnetic metal (FM) phase in an anisotropically-strained manganite thin film is directly imaged using a home-built magnetic force microscope (MFM). The MFM images at 10 K show that the two competing phases already coexist in zero magnetic field. Remarkably anisotropic distribution of the stripe-like phase domains are observed, which can qualitatively account for the anisotropic transport. Above 2.2 T, the AFI phase starts to transform into FM phase gradually. The melting of AFI phase is completed at 3.2 T. The FM phase can be retained after the magnetic field is removed, suggesting the metastable nature of the AFI phase at this temperature. |

| 摘要: |
| 用自制磁力显微镜研究了一个受各向异性应变的锰氧化物薄膜中的相分离以及由磁场导致的从反铁磁绝缘相到铁磁金属相的转变．磁力显微镜图片显示，在0 T这两种竞争的相就已经共存，且两种相
的畴呈非常明显的各向异性的条状分布，这可以定性解释输运上的各向异性．在2.1 T 以上，反铁磁绝缘相逐渐转变为铁磁金属相，并在3.2 T时结束．当去掉磁场时铁磁金属相能够保持． |
