AbstractThe resistance of a La_1.2Sr_1.8Mn_2(1– z )O_7 single crystal has been studied in magnetic fields from 0 to 90 kOe. The magnetoresistance at temperature T = 75 K, near which a colossal magnetoresistance maximum is observed, has been successfully described in terms of the “spin–polaron” electric conduction mechanism. This value of the colossal magnetoresistance is due to a three-fold increase in the polaron size. The method of separating contributions of various conduction mechanisms to the magnetoresistance developed for materials with activation type of conduction is generalized to compounds in which a metal–insulator transition is observed. It is found that, at a temperature of 75 K, the contribution of the “orientation” mechanism is maximum (≈20%) in a magnetic field of 5 kOe and almost disappears in fields higher than 50 kOe.

Experimental and theoretical investigations of the resistance of the La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 single crystal in magnetic fields from 0 to 90 kOe and in the temperature range from 75 to 300 K has been studied. The magnetoresistance is determined by the “spin-polaron” and “orientation” conduction mechanisms. Using the method of separating contributions to the magnetoresistance from several conduction mechanisms, the observed magnetoresistance of La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 manganite in the temperature range of 75-300 K is described, good agreement between the calculated and experimental data is obtained. In a magnetic field of 0 and 90 kOe, the temperature dependences of the size of the spin polaron (in relative units) are calculated for the temperature range 75–300 K. It is shown, that the КМС value is determined by an increase in the linear size of the spin polaron (along the magnetic field), i.e. the main role in the magnitude of the colossal magnetoresistance is made by the change in the size of the magnetic inhomogeneities of the crystal.

The polaron formation due to the strong interaction of electrons with the optical phonons in a layered manganese oxides is considered. The diffusion of nearly localized polarons in the presence of the spin-dependent and multiple scattering on the randomly oriented and/or distributed magnetic moments of atoms is considered. The spin diffusion coefficient in the case of the exchange interaction between the diffusive but nearly localized polarons is evaluated. It is shown that the polaron localization leads to the vanishing of the spin diffusion and hence the ferromagnetic phase transition. The spin-polaron effect caused by the interaction of polarons with the spin fluctuations further significantly reduces conductivity near the temperature of the ferromagnetic phase transition as shown.

We report Fe2WO6 to be an n-type thermoelectric (zT = 0.027 at 900 °C) with a small polaron conduction mechanism. Electrons reside as Fe2+ on the Fe3+ host structure, compensating oxygen vacancies that result from reduction in air above 650 °C.

ABSTRACTThe relevance of lattice distortion, polaron conduction, and double-exchange interaction to the occurrence of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is investigated by comparing the physical properties of magnetoresistive manganites and cobaltites. The samples studied in this work include epitaxial films and ceramics of manganites with both A- and B-site substitution, (La0.7Ca0.3MnO3, LaMn0.7 Ni0.3O3, LaMnO.5Ni0.5O3), as well as epitaxial films and ceramics of cobaltites (La0.5Ca0.5CoO3). The structural, chemical, electrical transport, magnetic, optical properties and tunneling spectroscopy are studied. Based on our experimental results, we conclude that both double-exchange interaction and strong electron-phonon coupling due to the Jahn-Teller effect are essential to the occurrence of CMR.
