Abstract
The dynamics of first-order electronic phase transitions in complex transition metal oxides are not well
understood but are crucial in understanding the emergent phenomena of electronic phase separation. We
show that a manganite system reduced to the scale of its inherent electronic charge-ordered insulating and
ferromagnetic metal phase domains allows for the direct observation of single electronic phase domain
fluctuations within a critical regime of temperature and magnetic field at the metal-insulator transition.
