Abstract: Abstract Manganese oxides of the general formula A1–xBxMnO3 (where A and B are trivalent and divalent cations, respectively) have recently attracted considerable attention by virtue of their unusual magnetic and electronic properties1–9. For example, in some of these materials magnetic fields can drive insulator-to-metal transitions where both the conductivity and magnetization change dramatically—an effect termed 'colossal magneto-resistance'1–3—raising hopes for application of these materials in the magnetic recording industry1–9. Here we show that in one such compound, Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3, a transition from the insulating antiferromagnetic state to the metallic ferromagnetic state can be driven by illumination with X-rays at low temperatures (
