A 55 Mn nuclear magnetic resonance study of a layered perovskite La 1.4 Sr 1.6 Mn 2 O 7 is<br />
reported. Between 4.2K and the magnetic ordering temperature, 100K, zero field spin echo<br />
spectra consist of signals corresponding to the double-exchange (DE) states and charge<br />
localised (CL) Mn 3+ , Mn 4+ states. This indicates occurrence of electronic and magnetic phase<br />
segregation into ferromagnetic metallic and ferromagnetic insulating regions. Above 100K a<br />
DE line is observed, revealing the presence of long lived metallic clusters. The relation of<br />
results to magnetoresistive properties of the compound is discussed.<br />
