With the continual increase in cooling demand for microprocessors, there has been an
increased focus within the microelectronics industry on developing thermal solutions …

The perovskite manganites with generic formula RE 1− x AE x MnO 3 (RE= rare earth, AE=
Ca, Sr, Ba and Pb) have drawn considerable attention, especially following the discovery of …

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 …

The resistivity ρ dc of manganites is studied using a random resistor-network, based on
phase separation between metallic and insulating domains. When percolation occurs, both …

La 0.67 Ca 0.33 Mn 1− x Cu x O 3 (x= 0 and 0.15) epitaxial thin films were grown on the
(100) LaAlO 3 substrates, and the temperature dependence of their resistivity was measured …

Detailed magnetization measurements in La 5∕ 8− y Pr y Ca 3∕ 8 Mn O 3, including
magnetic relaxation properties, demonstrate the dynamic nature of the phase separated …

For strongly correlated oxides, it has been a long-standing issue regarding the role of the
chemical ordering of the dopants on the physical properties. Here, using unit cell by unit cell …

Colossal magnetoresistance is a dramatic decrease in resistivity caused by applied
magnetic fields,,,, and has been the focus of much research because of its potential for …

The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) was measured to probe the nature of phase coexistence of
structurally different ferromagnetic metallic (FMM) and charge-ordered insulating phases in …

A unipolar electromagnetic pulse is a pulse with nonzero value of the static component of
the Fourier spectrum of its real electric field (and not its envelope). We show how to …
