Zener polaron ordering variants induced by A-site ordering in half-doped manganites.
We have studied the magnetism of the half-doped charge ordered manganite YBaMn2O6. A formation of ferromagnetic plaquettes of four Mn atoms in the charge ordered phase below T_{CO} approximately 480 K is inferred from high temperature magnetic susceptibility data and the magnetic structure, as determined by neutron powder diffraction at T=1.5 K. The results indicate that new fourfold Mn paramag...
متن کاملBuckling-induced Zener polaron instability in half-doped manganites
By calculating the electronic, orbital, magnetic, and lattice structure of half-doped manganites we establish the central role of oxygen buckling caused by the tilting of the MnO6 octahedra, which is, in essence, a steric effect. The buckling itself does not change the Mn-Mn bonds. Instead, it drives the system toward an instability where these bonds can dimerize. In the presence of electron-el...
متن کاملMagnetically induced electronic ferroelectricity in half-doped manganites.
Using a joint approach of density functional theory and model calculations, we demonstrate that a prototypical charge ordered half-doped manganite La1/2Ca1/2MnO3 is multiferroic. The combination of a peculiar charge-orbital ordering and a tendency to form spin dimers breaks the inversion symmetry and leads to a ferroelectric ground state with a polarization up to several microC/cm2. The presenc...
متن کاملLow-Temperature Spin Dynamics of Doped Manganites: roles of Mn-t2g and eg and O-2p states
The low-temperature spin dynamics of doped manganites have been analyzed within a tight-binding model, the parameters of which are estimated by mapping the results of ab initio density functional calculations onto the model. This approach is found to provide a good description of the spin dynamics of the doped manganites, observed earlier within the ab initio calculations. Our analysis not only...
متن کاملGriffiths phase, metal-insulator transition, and magnetoresistance of doped manganites
A phenomenological model is developed for systematic study of the universal features in metal-insulator transition and magnetoresistivity of mixed-phase manganites. The approach is based on utilization of some hypothesis appropriate to the Preisach picture of the magnetization process for half-metallic ferromagnets and an assumption that in doped manganites a Griffiths-type phase exists just ab...
