A tight-binding parametrization of the band structure, along with a mean-field treatment of the Hund, electron-electron, and electron-lattice couplings, is used to obtain the full optical conductivity tensor of LaMnO3 as a function of temperature. We predict striking changes with temperature in the functional form and magnitude of the optical absorption. Comparison of our results with existing ...

Resistivity, ρ (T), of LaMnO3+δ displays between δ = 0 − 0.154 an activated behavior both above and below the paramagnetic (PM) to ferromagnetic transition temperature, TC. The relative magnetoresistance at 8 T reaches the values of – 88 % near TC and – 98 % at T ≈ 20 K. In the PM phase ρ (T) satisfies between TC ~130 − 160 K and Tv ∼ 250 − 270 K the Shklovskii – Efros-like variable-range hoppi...

The LaMnO3, La0.9Ce0.1MnO3 and La0.9Sr0.1MnO3 catalysts are synthesized using sugar agent, the CO self-sustained combustion is investigated, where catalytic performance decided by temperature with conversions of 10% (T10), 50% (T50), 90% (T90). results show that self-sustaining successfully realized on catalyst, order activity decrease as follows: (with sugar) > LaMnO3 (without sugar). Combined...

I give a brief overview of a polaron formation in three distinct transition metal oxides: (i) spin polaron when a hole is added to the antiferromagnetic (AF) ordered plane in La2CuO4, (ii) orbital polaron when a hole is added to the alternating orbital (AO) ordered plane in LaMnO3, and (iii) spin-orbital polaron when a hole is added to the AF and AO ordered plane in LaVO3. Comparison of the dis...

Fig 1: The solid points give the location and shape of the (1 0 –4) resonant reflection in orthorhombic LaMnO3. Open circles display Mn Kα fluorescence from the same sample on a common energy scale. The vertical scale is arbitrary and the lines are guides to the eye. In conventional X-ray diffraction the beam scatters from all electrons in the unit cell, but in resonant diffraction at a forbidd...

A tight binding parameterization of the band structure, along with a mean field treatment of Hund, electron–electron, and electron–lattice couplings, is used to obtain the full optical conductivity tensor of LaMnO3 as a function of temperature. We predict the magnetic phase transition causes striking changes in the functional form and magnitude of the optical absorption. Our results differ from...

Oxygen engineering is an important tool for on-demand tailoring of manganese related perovskites into optimized performances. Anionic vacancies can be induced in both doped and undoped manganites by means of topotactic reduction processes under oxygen controlled atmosphere. This has given rise to the stabilization of new phases as a consequence of ordering of oxygen vacancies in which Mn 2+ app...
