چکیده

Jahn-Teller (JT) electron-phonon coupling effects in the colossal magnetoresistance perovskite compounds La1−xAxMnO3 are investigated. Electronelectron correlations between two degenerate Mn eg orbitals are studied in the Gutzwiller approximation. The static JT distortion and antiadiabatic polaron effects are studied in a modified Lang-Firsov approximation. We find that (i) the electron or hole character of the charge carrier depends on the static JT distortion, and (ii) due to the two-component nature of the JT coupling, fluctuations in the JT distortion direction contribute to the charge transport in similar fashion as the local spins. 72.15.Gd,71.38+i,71.27+a Typeset using REVTEX

Colossal 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...

Investigation of effect of magnetic ordering on structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu) using ab initio method

Structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu)  were studied  for each of three magnetic configurations nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic by using density functional theory in generalized gradient approximations (GGA) and strong correlation correction (GGA + U). Due to magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to nonmagnetic phase, an electr...

The Structure of Jahn-teller Polarons in the Colossal Magnetoresistive Manganites

The observation of large negative magnetoresistive effects has generated tremendous scientific and technical interest in the perovskite manganites and related materials. These phenomena are commonly classified under the heading “colossal magnetoresistance” (CMR) to distinguish them from magnetoresistive effects in metals and metal-multilayers. CMR effects are observed in conjunction with the fo...

Orbital Effects in Manganites

We review some aspects related to orbital degrees of freedom in manganites. The Mn ions in these compounds have double orbital degeneracy and are strong Jahn-Teller ions, causing structural distortions and orbital ordering. We discuss ordering mechanisms and the consequences of orbital order. The additional degeneracy of low-energy states and the extreme sensitivity of the chemical bonds to the...

Phase Diagram in R1−xAxMnO3

We study the phase diagram of R1−xAxMnO3 (R=La, Pr, Nd, Sm ; A=Ca, Sr, Ba) by taking into account the degeneracy of eg orbitals and the anisotropy of the transfer integral. The electron-electron interaction is treated in the mean field approximation with the optimization of the spin and orbital structures. The global phase diagram is understood in terms of the two interactions, i.e., the super ...
