Abstract: We study the melting of charge order in the half doped manganites using a model that incorporates double exchange, antiferromagnetic superexchange, and Jahn-Teller coupling between electrons and phonons. We primarily use a real space Monte Carlo technique to study the phase diagram in terms of applied field (h) and temperature (T), exploring the melting of charge order with increasing h and its recovery on decreasing h. We observe hysteresis in this response, and discover that the “field melted” high conductance state can be spatially inhomogeneous even without extrinsic disorder. The hysteretic response plays out in the background of field driven equilibrium phase separation. Our results, exploring h, T, and the electronic parameter space, are backed up by analysis of simpler limiting cases and a Landau framework for the field response. This paper focuses on our results in the “clean” systems, a companion paper studies the effect of cation disorder on the melting phenomena.
