TLDR
The role of the JT polaron in determining the electronic and magnetic properties above T c is discussed in this paper, where phase transitions at T c (=245 K), 345 K and 545 K are discussed.
Abstract
Resistivity (15-710 K), magnetization (80-723 K), and calorimetric (200-623 K) measurements on La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 have shown evidence for the formation of Jahn-Teller (JT) polarons below ∼545 K. Above 560 K, activated conduction with E a = 0.05 eV is observed and X -1 (T) shows Curie-Weiss behaviour. Over the temperature range 270-340 K, the conductivity follows Mott's VRH model and X -1 (T) provides evidence of the formation of spin clusters. Calorimetric study shows phase transitions at T c (=245 K), 345 K and 545 K. The role of the JT polaron in determining the electronic and magnetic properties above T c is discussed.

Modelling colossal magnetoresistance manganites

TL;DR: In this article, the Mott-Hubbard correlation was used to model rare-earth (Re) manganites in the adiabatic regime, and the effect of all the strong local correlations was discussed.

Temperature dependent evolution of the electronic and local atomic structure in the cubic colossal magnetoresistive manganite La1-xSrxMnO3

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature-dependent evolution of the electronic and local atomic structure in the cubic colossal magnetoresistive manganite La 1-x Sr x MnO 3 (x= 0.3 − 0.4) with core and valence level photoemission (PE), x-ray absorption specroscopy (XAS), resonant inelastic xray scattering (RIXS), extended xray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and magnetometry.

Electron- and hole-doping effects on the electronic structure of manganite studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy

TL;DR: The electronic structures of hole-doped La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 manganites were investigated by x-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy at the O and Mn K-, and Mn L3,2-edges as mentioned in this paper.

Non-adiabatic small polaron hopping in the n = 3 Ruddlesden–Popper compound Ca4Mn3O10

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the change in the effective activation energy around TN is due to the crossover to variable range hopping conduction as antiferromagnetic order sets in.

Interaction between the d -Shells in the Transition Metals. II. Ferromagnetic Compounds of Manganese with Perovskite Structure

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that both electrical conduction and ferromagnetic coupling in these compounds arise from a double exchange process, and a quantitative relation was developed between electrical conductivity and the Ferromagnetic Curie temperature.

Thousandfold Change in Resistivity in Magnetoresistive La-Ca-Mn-O Films

TL;DR: A negative isotropic magnetoresistance effect has been observed in thin oxide films of perovskite-like La0.67Ca0.33MnOx, which could be useful for various magnetic and electric device applications if the observed effects of material processing are optimized.

Giant negative magnetoresistance in perovskitelike La2/3Ba1/3MnOx ferromagnetic films.

TL;DR: The samples show a drop in the resistivity at the magnetic transition, and the existence of magnetic polarons seems to dominate the electric transport in this region.

Double exchange alone does not explain the resistivity of La1-xSrxMnO3.

TL;DR: It is proposed that in addition to double-exchange physics a strong electron-phonon interaction arising from the Jahn-Teller splitting of the outer Mn $d$ level plays a crucial role.

Low temperature magnetoresistance and the magnetic phase diagram of La1-xCaxMnO3.

TL;DR: An unexpectedly large magnetoresistance is seen at low temperatures in the FM phase, and is largely attributed to unusual domain wall scattering.
