Magnetic and structural phase diagrams of the La₀.₈₈MnOx, La₁₋xSrx(Mn₁₋x/₂Nbx/₂)O₃,
Nd₁₋xCaxMnO₃, and Bi₁₋xCaxMnO₃ series constructed on the basis of x-ray, neutron powder diffraction,
Young’s modulus, magnetization and resistivity measurements are presented. It is shown
that the main factor controlling the antiferromagnet–ferromagnet phase transition in the manganites
is a type of an orbital state. The results are discussed in the framework of structurally driven
magnetic phase separation model.
