Colossal magnetoresistance
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent experimental work falling under the broad classification of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), which is magnetoresistance associated with a ferromagnetic-toparamagnetic phase transition. The prototypical CMR compound is derived from the parent compound, perovskite LaMnO3. When hole doped at a concentration of 20–40% holes/Mn ion, for instance by Ca or Sr substitution for La, the material displays a transition from a high-temperature paramagnetic insulator to a low-temperature ferromagnetic metal. Near the phase transition temperature, which can exceed room temperature in some compositions, large magnetoresistance is observed and its possible application in magnetic recording has revived interest in these materials. In addition, unusual magneto-elastic effects and charge ordering have focused attention on strong electron–phonon coupling. This coupling, which is a type of dynamic extended-system version of the Jahn–Teller effect, in conjunction with the double-exchange interaction, is also viewed as essential for a microscopic description of CMR in the manganite perovskites. Large magnetoresistance is also seen in other systems, namely Tl2Mn2O7 and some Cr chalcogenide spinels, compounds which differ greatly from the manganite perovskites. We describe the relevant points of contrast between the various CMR materials.

Multi-scale Phase Modulations in Colossal Magnetoresistance Manganites
Extensive experimental results are presented on the multi-scale phase modulation phenomena observed in colossal magnetoresistance manganites. Two key types of phase inhomogeneities directly relevant to the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) are discussed. The first type involves micrometer-scale coexistence of structurally and electronically different phases. We present extensive experimental dat...

Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effect was discovered among the manganese oxide class of materials, i.e. La1−xCaxMnO3. It shows large magnetoresistance by orders of magnitude, however several environmental requirements limit CMR toward general applications. Recently people have been focused on understanding a fundamental physics because of complex correlations between electron-lattice and elec...
متن کاملTheory of colossal magnetoresistance
The history and recent developments in studying (colossal) magnetoresistance in perovskite manganese oxides is reviewed. We emphasize the growing evidence for strongly coupled spin, charge and lattice degrees of freedom. Together with disorder, these provide the microscopic driving forces for local and inhomogeneous textures. The modeling and experimental probes for localized charge–spin–lattic...
