We investigate the low-temperature electron, lattice, and spin dynamics of LaMnO_3 (LMO) and La_0.7Ca_0.3MnO_3 (LCMO) by resonant pump-probe reflectance spectroscopy. Probing the high-spin d-d transition as a function of time delay and probe energy, we compare the responses of the Mott insulator and the double-exchange metal to the photoexcitation. Attempts have previously been made to describe the sub-picosecond dynamics of CMR manganites in terms of a phenomenological three temperature model describing the energy transfer between the electron, lattice and spin subsystems followed by a comparatively slow exponential decay back to the ground state. However, conflicting results have been reported. Here we first show clear evidence of an additional component in the long term relaxation due to film-to-substrate heat diffusion and then develop a modified three temperature model that gives a consistent account for this feature. We confirm our interpretation by using it to deduce the bandgap in LMO. In addition we also model the non-thermal sub-picosecond dynamics, giving a full account of all observed transient features both in the insulating LMO and the metallic LCMO.

The gigantic reduction of the electric resistivity under the applied magnetic field, CMR effect, is now widely accepted to appear in the vicinity of the insulator to metal transition of the perovskite manganites. Recently, we have discovered the firs t order transition from ferromagnetic metal to insulator in $rm La_{0.88}Sr_{0.12}MnO_3$ of the CMR manganite. This phase transition induces the tremendous increase of the resistivity under the external magnetic field just near above the phase transition temperature. We report here fairly detailed results from the systematic experiments including neutron and synchrotron X-ray scattering studies.
A tight binding parametrization of local spin density functional band theory is combined with a dynamical mean field treatment of correlations to obtain a theory of the magnetic transition temperature, optical conductivity and T=0 spinwave stiffness of a minimal model for the pseudocubic metallic $CMR$ manganites such a $La_{1-X}Sr_{x}MnO_{3}$. The results indicate that previous estimates of $T_{c}$ obtained by one of us (Phys. Rev. textbf{B61} 10738-49 (2000)) are in error, that in fact the materials are characterized by Hunds coupling $Japprox 1.5eV$, and that magnetic-order driven changes in the kinetic energy may not be the cause of the observed colossal magnetoresistive and multiphase behavior in the manganites, raising questions about our present understanding of these materials.
In this paper, we discuss the most deleterious effect of charge state modification at the Mn site on the ground state of the CMR manganites.
139La NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 and rf enhancement experiments provide evidence that the low temperature regime of the ferromagnetic (FM) phase of La1-xCaxMnO3 segregates into highly-conductive and poorly-conductive FM regions, associated with differences in the orbital structure. Remarkably, phase separation is accompanied with the appearance of an extra NMR signal from FM regions with vanishingly small magnetic anisotropy. This feature has been attributed to the appearance of regions with strong orbital fluctuations, resembling droplets of an orbital liquid within the inhomogeneous FM matrix.

Well defined spin waves were observed when the spin dynamics of Tl2Mn2O7, the first pyrochlore compound found to exhibit colossal magnetoresistance, was measured [J.W.Lynn et al., Phys.Rev.Lett. 80,4582(1998)], in stark contrast with the experimental results on the larger family of magnetoresistive manganites with perovskite structure. In this work, we present our calculation for the spin waves in Tl2Mn2O7, which we described using the microscopic generic model proposed recently for this compound [C.I.Ventura and M.A.Gusmao, Phys.Rev.B 65, 14422(2002)]. We have employed a canonical transformation to determine perturbatively the effective spin-wave Hamiltonian, obtaining therefrom the renormalization of the ferromagnetic spin waves related to the localized Mn$^{4+}$ spins, due to their coupling with the conduction electrons present. We have calculated the magnon dispersion relations along different paths in the first Brillouin zone, comparing them with those which are obtained for an ideal isotropic ferromagnet. This comparison evidences an agreement between the ferromagnetic magnons obtained from the generic model and the bare spin waves, such as had been found in neutron scattering experiments.
