The study of the manganese oxides, widely known as manganites, that exhibit the “colossal”
magnetoresistance effect is among the main areas of research within the area of strongly …

An electron in a solid, that is, bound to or nearly localized on the specific atomic site, has
three attributes: charge, spin, and orbital. The orbital represents the shape of the electron …

Condensed matter is one of the most active areas of research in physics. Ev ery year new
materials are discovered with properties that are as challenging as or more than those of the …

This review addresses the method of explicit calculations of interatomic exchange
interactions of magnetic materials. This involves exchange mechanisms normally referred to …

We report on structural, magnetic, and electrical properties of Sr-doped LaMnO 3 single
crystals for doping levels 0.4<~ x<~ 0.85. The complex structural and magnetic phase …

An explanation is given for the charge order, orbital order, and insulating state observed in
half-doped manganese oxides, such as Nd 1/2 Sr 1/2 MnO 3. The competition between the …

Colossal magnetoresistance materials, to which manganites and conventional
ferromagnetic semiconductors belong, draw great attention because of their intriguing …

We investigate the possibility of controlling the magnetic phase transition of the
heterointerface between a half-doped manganite La 0.5 Ca 0.5 MnO 3 and a multiferroic …

In recent decades, novel magnetism of d-and f-electron compounds has been discussed
very intensively both in experimental and theoretical research fields of condensed matter …

The main properties of realistic models for manganites are studied using analytic mean-field
approximations and computational numerical methods, focusing on the two-orbital model …
