Sm. Dunaevskii, The relation between the electronic and magnetic structures of manganites in the tight-binding approximation, PHYS SOL ST, 41(12), 1999, pp. 2000-2003
Analytic expressions for the dispersion curves E(k) of RMnO3 (R=La, Pr, Nd,
Sm, and other RE elements) have been obtained in the tight-binding approxi
mation for the main types of magnetic ordering on the Mn sublattice. The fi
rst calculation of E(k) taking into account the oxygen subsystem and mutual
ordering of the manganese and RE sublattices is reported. The results obta
ined permit a qualitative interpretation of some features observed in the b
ehavior of the rare-earth manganites. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physic
