We present a high-energy scattering study of the superlattice reflections attributed to charge and orbital order in
Pr0.7(Ca0.9Sr0.1)0.3MnO3 under hydrostatic pressure. Pure Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 shows an
antiferromagnetic insulating ground state with a longe-range charge and orbital order. Utilizing pressure it can be driven
to a ferromagnetic metallic state, where the long-range charge order is destroyed. The Sr-substituted system can be
understood in a phase separation scenario. Due to the different cation sizes, the double-exchange at the Sr-substituted
sites changes, leading to the formation of ferromagnetic metallic non-charge ordered regions in the antiferromagnetic
insulating charge ordered background. Under external pressure we found a drastic decrease of the onset of the
charge/orbital ordering temperature and a thermal hysteresis of the order parameter.
The measurements have been done at the HASYLAB beamline BW5 with a three-crystal setting utilizing a new implementation of
a clamp-type piston-cylinder cell of a relatively small size and reduced wall thickness in a closed-cycle cryostat on a
four-circle diffractometer.
