Abstract
A brief survey of results concerning the study of manganites by the method of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is presented. Experiments in which the nuclei of the majority of the elements that enter into the structural formulas of the manganites have been used as the local probes are considered. Primary attention is paid to the application of this local method for investigating the microscopic phase separation based on the data of the 55Mn NMR, orbital ordering in LaMnO3 based on the data of the 17O NMR, and low-frequency spin dynamics.
