Abstract
We report on the effect of isotopic exchange 16O→ 18O on the magnetic and transport properties of the ground state in (Gd0.5Sm0.5)0.55Sr0.45MnO 3. The ground state of the 16O sample is a ferromagnetic metal. Isotopic exchange drives that state into a antiferromagnetic insulator. Moderate applied magnetic fields have little effect on both ground states. However, higher fields can restore the ferromagnetic metallic properties of the 18O sample. The high-temperature phase at that concentration shows a competition between different ordered phases as evident from the existence of a different scale transition temperature T* >TC at which the bulk of the samples transforms into a disordered paramagnetic phase.
