The electronic response of doped manganites at the transition from the paramagnetic insulating to the ferromagnetic metallic state in $rm La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_3$ for $rm (x=0.3,0.2)$ was investigated by dc conductivity, ellipsometry, and VUV reflectance for energies between 0 and 24 eV. A stablized Kramers-Kronig transformation yields the optical conductivity and reveals changes in the optical spectral weight up to 24 eV at the metal to insulator transition. In the observed energy range, the spectral weight is conserved within $rm 0.3 %$. The redistribution of spectral weight between low and high energies has important ramifications for the down-folding of low-energy Hamiltonians. We discuss the importance of the charge-transfer, Coulomb onsite, Jahn-Teller, and screening effects to the electronic structure.

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.
The optical properties of a V4O7 single crystal have been investigated from the high temperature metallic phase down to the low temperature antiferromagnetic insulating one. The temperature dependent behavior of the optical conductivity across the me
tal-insulator transition (MIT) can be explained in a polaronic scenario. Charge carriers form strongly localized polarons in the insulating phase as suggested by a far-infrared charge gap abruptly opening at T_MIT = 237 K. In the metallic phase instead the presence of a Drude term is indicative of fairly delocalized charges with a moderately renormalized mass m* = 5m_e. The electronic spectral weight is almost recovered on an energy scale of 1 eV, which is much narrower compared to VO2 and V2O3 cases. Those findings suggest that electron-lattice interaction rather than electronic correlation is the driving force for V4O7 metal-insulator transition.
We study the transition at T=0 from a ferromagnetic insulating to a ferromagnetic metallic phase in manganites as a function of hole doping using an effective low-energy model Hamiltonian proposed by us recently. The model incorporates the quantum na
ture of the dynamic Jahn-Teller(JT) phonons strongly coupled to orbitally degenerate electrons as well as strong Coulomb correlation effects and leads naturally to the coexistence of localized (JT polaronic) and band-like electronic states. We study the insulator-metal transition as a function of doping as well as of the correlation strength U and JT gain in energy E_{JT}, and find, for realistic values of parameters, a ground state phase diagram in agreement with experiments. We also discuss how several other features of manganites as well as differences in behaviour among manganites can be understood in terms of our model.
The persistent proximity of insulating and metallic phases, a puzzling characterestic of manganites, is argued to arise from the self organization of the twofold degenerate e_g orbitals of Mn into localized Jahn-Teller(JT) polaronic levels and broad
band states due to the large electron - JT phonon coupling present in them. We describe a new two band model with strong correlations and a dynamical mean-field theory calculation of equilibrium and transport properties. These explain the insulator metal transition and colossal magnetoresistance quantitatively, as well as other consequences of two state coexistence.
A high-resolution investigation of the electron spectra close to the metal-to-insulator transition in dynamic mean-field theory is presented. An all-numerical, consistent confirmation of a smooth transition at zero temperature is provided. In particu
lar, the separation of energy scales is verified. Unexpectedly, sharp peaks at the inner Hubbard band edges occur in the metallic regime. They are signatures of the important interaction between single-particle excitations and collective modes.
