@article{ISI:000230168800024, abstract = {Rare earth manganites doped with alkaline earths, namely Re(1-x)A(x)MnO(3), exhibit colossal magnetoresistance, metal insulator transitions, competing magnetic, orbital and charge ordering, and many other interesting but poorly understood phenomena. In this article I outline our recent theory based on the idea that in the presence of strong Jahn-Teller, Coulomb and Hund's couplings present in these materials, the low-energy electronic states dynamically reorganize themselves into two sets: one set (l) which are polaronic, i.e., localized and accompanied by large local lattice distortion, and another (b) which are non-polaronic and band-like. The coexistence of the radically different e and b states, and the sensitive dependence of their relative energies and occupation upon doping x, temperature T, magnetic field H, etc., underlies the unique effects seen in manganites. I present results from strong correlation calculations using dynamical mean-field theory and simulations on a new 2-fluid model which accord with a variety of observations.}, author = {Krishnamurthy, HR}, doi = {10.1007/BF02704168}, eissn = {0973-7111}, issn = {0304-4289}, journal = {PRAMANA-JOURNAL OF PHYSICS}, month = {JUN}, note = {22nd IUPAP International Conference on Statistical Physics (STATPHYS 22), Indian Inst Sci, Bangalore, INDIA, JUL 04-09, 2004}, number = {6, SI}, pages = {1063-1074}, times-cited = {7}, title = {A new theory of doped manganites exhibiting colossal magnetoresistance}, unique-id = {ISI:000230168800024}, volume = {64}, year = {2005} }
