 abstract = {Transition metal oxides, such as the mixed-valent rare-earth manganites
Ln((1-x))A(x)MnO(3) (Ln, rare-earth ion, and A, alkaline-earth ion),
show a variety of electronic orders with spatially correlated charge,
spin and orbital arrangements, which in turn give rise to many
fascinating phenomena and properties. These materials are also
electronically inhomogeneous, i.e. they contain disjoint spatial regions
with different electronic orders. Not only do we observe signatures of
such electronic phase separation in a variety of properties, but we can
also observe the different `phases' visually through different types of
imaging. We discuss various experiments pertaining to electronic orders
and electronic inhomogeneities in the manganites and present a
discussion of theoretical approaches to their understanding. It is
noteworthy that the mixed-valent rare-earth cobaltates of the type
Ln((1-x))A(x)CoO(3) also exhibit electronic inhomogeneities just as the
manganites.},
