F. Bridges et al., Correlations between local structure and magnetism, plus temperature dependent changes in the 3D bands in the colossal magnetoresistive materials, INT J MOD B, 13(29-31), 1999, pp. 3783-3785
Changes in the polaron-like local distortions are strongly correlated with
the magnetization in the CMR manganites, for bulk powders, thin films and c
o-doped material. In addition the eg bands are temperature dependent near T
-c - but only for CMR materials. These results emphasize the subtle balance
of interactions in these systems.
