We use a model previously formulated based on the double exchange mechanism and diagonal disorder to calculate magnetization and conductivity for La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO_3 type crystals as a function of temperature. The model represents each Mn^{4+} ion by a spin S=1/2, on which an electron can be added to produce Mn$^{3+}$. We include a hopping energy $t,$ two strong intratomic interactions: exchange $J$, and Coulomb $U,$ and, to represent in a simple way the effects of disorder, a Lorentzian distribution of diagonal energies of width $Gamma $ at the Mn sites. In the strong coupling limit, $J,U>>t,Gamma $, the model results can be expressed in terms of $t$ and $Gamma .$ We use the results of the model to draw phase diagrams that separate ferromagnetic from paramagnetic states and also insulating states where the Fermi level falls in a region of localized states from metallic where the Fermi level falls in a region of extended states. Finally, assuming that particles in extended states make the largest contribution to conductivity, we calculate the resistivity for different concentrations and magnetic fields and compare with experiment. We conclude that for the model can be used successfully to represent the transport properties of the systems under consideration.

We study a simplified model of the electronic structure of compounds of the type of La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$MnO$_3$. The model represents each Mn$^{4+}$ ion by a spin S=1/2, on which an electron can be added to produce Mn$^{3+}$. We include two strong intrat omic interactions in the Hamiltonian: exchange ($J$% ) and Coulomb ($U$). Finally, to represent the effect of Sr substitution by La in a simple way, we include a distribution of diagonal energies at the Mn sites. Then we use Green function techniques to calculate a mobility edge and the average density of states. We find that according to the amount of disorder and to the concentration of electrons in the system, the Fermi level can cross the mobility edge to produce a metal to insulator transition as the magnetization decreases (increase of temperature). If the disorder is large, the system remains insulating for all concentrations. Concentrations near zero or one favor the insulating state while intermediate values of concentration favor the metallic state.
We have studied the chemical potential shift as a function of temperature in Nd$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$MnO$_3$ (NSMO) by measurements of core-level photoemission spectra. For ferromagnetic samples ($x=0.4$ and 0.45), we observed an unusually large upward chemi cal potential shift with decreasing temperature in the low-temperature region of the ferromagnetic metallic (FM) phase. This can be explained by the double-exchange (DE) mechanism if the $e_g$ band is split by dynamical/local Jahn-Teller effect. The shift was suppressed near the Curie temperature ($T_C$), which we attribute to the crossover from the DE to lattice-polaron regimes.
We have demonstrated the effect of hydrostatic pressure on magnetic and transport properties, and thermal transport properties in electron-doped manganites CaMn$_{1-x}$Sb$_{x}$O$_{3}$. The substitution of Sb$^{5+}$ ion for Mn $^{4+}$site of the paren t matrix causes one-electron doping with the chemical formula CaMn$^{4+}_{1-2x}$Mn$^{3+}_{x}$Sb$^{5+}_{x}$O$_{3}$ accompanied by a monotonous increase in unit cell volume as a function of $x$. Upon increasing the doping level of Sb, the magnitudes of both electrical resistivity and negative Seebeck coefficient are suppressed at high temperatures, indicating the electron doping. Anomalous diamagnetic behaviors at $x=0.05$ and 0.08 are clearly observed in field cooled dc magnetization. The effect of hydrostatic pressure on dc magnetization is in contrast to the chemical pressure effect due to Sb doping. The dynamical effect of ac magnetic susceptibility measurement points to the formation of the magnetically frustrated clusters such as FM clusters embedded in canted AFM matrix.
Static (DC) and dynamic (AC, at 14 MHz and 8 GHz) magnetic susceptibilities of single crystals of a ferromagnetic superconductor, $textrm{EuFe}_{2}(textrm{As}_{1-x}textrm{P}_{x})_{2}$ (x = 0.23), were measured in pristine state and after different do ses of 2.5 MeV electron or 3.5 MeV proton irradiation. The superconducting transition temperature, $T_{c}(H)$, shows an extraordinarily large decrease. It starts at $T_{c}(H=0)approx24:textrm{K}$ in the pristine sample for both AC and DC measurements, but moves to almost half of that value after moderate irradiation dose. Our results suggest that in $textrm{EuFe}_{2}(textrm{As}_{1-x}textrm{P}_{x})_{2}$ superconductivity is affected by local-moment ferromagnetism mostly via the spontaneous internal magnetic fields induced by the FM subsystem. Another mechanism is revealed upon irradiation where magnetic defects created in ordered $text{Eu}^{2+}$ lattice act as efficient pairbreakers leading to a significant $T_{c}$ reduction upon irradiation compared to other 122 compounds. On the other hand, the exchange interactions seem to be weakly screened by the superconducting phase leading to a modest increase of $T_{m}$ (less than 1 K) after the irradiation drives $T_{c}$ to below $T_{m}$. The results suggest that FM and SC phases coexist microscopically in the same volume.

We report magnetic susceptibility $chi(T)$ measurements on oxygen-isotope exchanged La$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$MnO$_{3+y}$ up to 700 K. The $1/chi(T)$ data show that the ferromagnetic exchange-energy $J$ depends strongly on the oxygen-isotope mass. The isotop e effect on $J$ decreases with temperature up to 400 K and then increases again with temperature above 400 K. This unusual temperature dependence of the isotope effect cannot be explained by existing theories of the colossal magnetoresistance effect for doped manganites. The present results thus provide essential constraints on the physics of manganites.
