Metal-Insulator Transition in Mn Perovskite Compounds

چکیده
We discuss Mott insulating and metallic phases of a model with eg orbital degeneracy to understand physics of Mn perovskite compounds. Quantum Monte Carlo and Lanczos diagonalization results are discussed in this model. To reproduce experimental results on charge gap and Jahn-Teller distortions, we show that a synergy between the strong correlation effects and the Jahn-Teller coupling is important. The incoherent charge dynamics and strong charge fluctuations are characteristic of the metallic phase accompanied with critical enhancement of short-ranged orbital correlation near the insulator.

Metal-Insulator and Superconductor-Insulator Transitions in Correlated Electron Systems
Quantum transitions between the Mott insulator and metals by controlling filling in two-dimensional square lattice are characterized by a large dynamical exponent z = 4 where the origin of unusual metallic properties near the Mott insulator are ascribed to the proximity of the transition. The scaling near the transition indicates the formation of flat dispersion area due to singular momentum de...
متن کاملColossal magnetoresistance
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...
متن کاملTwo Ferromagnetic States in Magnetoresistive Manganites - First Order Transition Driven by Orbitals
A systematic study of the electronic structure in perovskite manganites is presented. The effective Hamiltonian is derived by taking into account the degeneracy of eg orbitals and strong electron correlation in Mn ions. The spin and orbital orderings are examined as functions of carrier concentration in the mean-field approximation applied to the effective Hamiltonian. We obtain the first order...

We report results of structural, magnetic and electrical measurements performed on the perovskite RE1/3Sr2/3FeO3 compounds (RE= rare earth). Samples with light RE (La, Pr or Nd) show a metal-insulator-like transition coupled to an antiferromagnetic ordering upon cooling. This transition is believed to be brought about by a charge ordering of Fe and Fe ions in the low temperature phase accompani...

In this study, the effect of Ti substitution on structural and electrical properties of La0.8Sr0.2Mn1-xTixO3 (0 ≤ x≤ 0.075) compounds have been investigated. The double exchange interaction mechanism weakens by substituting the nonmagnetic Ti4+ ions in Mn4+ and Mn3+ sites. The results show that with increasing the doping level, metal-insulator transition temperature shifts to lower temperatures...
