Giant magnetotransport phenomena have been investigated for single cry
stals of perovskite-type La1-xSrxMnO3 and related compounds. Magnetore
sistance (MR) with negative sign shows a universal curve as a function
of the magnetization, the body of which is quantitatively accounted f
or by the mean-field theory of the Kondo lattice model with strong fer
romagnetic (Hund) coupling. Furthermore, magnetic field-induced struct
ural change has been found between the two types of slightly distorted
perovskite structure perhaps due to the strong coupling between the e
lectronic and lattice degrees of freedom in these hole-doped Mn-oxides
.
