For y = 0.075, the transition manifests itself in χ(T) steps at temperatures depending on external fields. In this case, isothermal measurements show a field-driven transition exhibiting a field hysteresis. The entropy contribution is evaluated and discussed. Qualitative analysis based on a two-level model suggests that the observed influence of the magnetic field can be explained only by assuming the presence of exchange interactions.}, pages = {07E127-1--07E127-3}, title = {Thermally and field-driven spin-state transitions in (Pr1-yYy)0.7Ca0.3CoO3}, volume = {109}, year = {2011} }
