15. From the oscillation period and the refractive index for the probe light, the speed of sound is evaluated to be 9km/s, which is close to the value (6.5km/s) reported in Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 [M. Fiebig, Appl. Phys. B APBOEM 0946-2171 71, 211 (2000); here, the value originally reported in this paper was corrected by a factor of 2].
