Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is one of the most important techniques for
microstructure determination, being utilized in a wide range of scientific disciplines, such as …

The study of the manganese oxides, widely known as manganites, that exhibit the “colossal”
magnetoresistance effect is among the main areas of research within the area of strongly …

Describing all aspects of the physics of transition metal compounds, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of this unique and diverse class of solids. Beginning with the basic …

An electron in a solid, that is, bound to or nearly localized on the specific atomic site, has
three attributes: charge, spin, and orbital. The orbital represents the shape of the electron …

While basic features of polarons were well recognized a long time ago and have been
described in a number of review papers and textbooks, interest in the role of electron …

The earliest ideas of the polaron recognized that the coupling of an electron to ionic
vibrations would affect its apparent mass and could effectively immobilize the carrier (self …

A characteristic feature of the copper oxide high-temperature superconductors is the
dichotomy between the electronic excitations along the nodal (diagonal) and antinodal …

▪ Abstract We review the recent progress in the study of layered magnetic manganites La2−
2 x Sr1+ 2 x Mn2O7, which have many unique features of charge transport and magnetism …

Neutron scattering has been used to study the nature of the ferromagnetic transition in a
single crystal of the perovskite La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3. Diffuse scattering from lattice polarons …

We used high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to reveal the Fermi
surface and key transport parameters of the metallic state of the layered colossal …
