Description

We report direct experimental evidence of the effect of quenched random field on magnetic ordering of La_(0.5)Gd_(0.2)Sr_(0.3)MnO_(3) manganites system. We demonstrate magnetic measurements providing serious evidence to support that quenched random field of Gd divides the system in finite size clusters which undergo cluster-glass like freezing. The size or concentration of these clusters is found to be closely related to the effect of random field, which in turn is a function of applied field.
