antiferromagnetic manganite, and that it exhibits very anisotropic spin-wave dispersion
relations with intra-and interplanar exchange parameters 8 JS= 3 2. 6±0.9 meV and 4 J′
S=− 10.1±0.5 meV, respectively. This anisotropy reflects underlying dx 2− y 2-type orbital
ordering, and the metallic behavior indicates that a charge ordering is decoupled from the
orbital ordering in this system.
