The ferromagnetic transition temperature and the oxygen isotope effect
in the doped manganites are evaluated using a model based on the dyna
mic Jahn-Teller effect on the bridging oxygen ion (the ion between Mn3
+ and Mn4+). The diabatic representation is used to estimate the hoppi
ng time of the extra electron in the double exchange model. The transi
tion temperature depends strongly on the Franck-Condon factor and, the
refore, on the oxygen mass.
