Correction to the Metal-Insulator Transition Temperature due toCation Size and Strain Effects for Colossal MagnetoresistancePerovskites

  • A phenomenological expression of the metal-insulator transition temperature is proposed for AMnO3 manganese perovskites by taking into account the distortion of Mn-O-Mn bond due to A-cation size and the strain-dependent effect due to performed Jahn-Teller distortions, independently. Using reasonable physical parameters, the calculated results give excellent agreement with experimental data obtained in polycrystalline samples of La2/3(Ca1-xBax)1/3MnO3, providing a strong support to this approach.
