Abstract

The critical behaviour has been investigated in single crystalline $Nd_{0.6}Pb_{0.4}MnO_{3}$ near the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition temperature (TC) by static magnetic measurements. The values of TC and the critical exponents $\beta$, $\gamma$ and $\delta$ are estimated by analysing the data in the critical region. The exponent values are very close to those expected for 3D Heisenberg ferromagnets with short-range interactions. Specific heat measurements show a broad cusp at TC (i.e., exponent $\alpha<0$) being consistent with Heisenberg-like behaviour.
