Evidence for variable range hopping (VRH) is presented in resistivity
measurements in thin films and bulk samples of different substituted x
= 0.3 manganese perovskites. The necessity to modify the Mott VRH mod
el is shown and we have developed a model based on magnetic localizati
on hopping, which is used to reproduce temperature and field dependenc
e of resistivity in these mixed-valence compounds. (C) 1997 American I
