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 …

We review recent experimental work falling under the broad classification of colossal
magnetoresistance (CMR), which is magnetoresistance associated with a ferromagnetic-to …

Thermoelectrics interconvert heat to electricity and are of great interest in waste heat
recovery, solid-state cooling and so on. The efficiency of thermoelectric materials depends …

Mixed-valence manganese oxides (R1-χAχ) MnO3 (R= rare-earth cation, A= alkali or
alkaline earth cation), with a structure similar to that of perovskite CaTiO3, exhibit a rich …

Colossal magnetoresistance—an unusually large change of resistivity observed in certain
materials following application of magnetic field—has been extensively researched in …

The growth and characterization of functional oxide thin films that are ferroelectric, magnetic,
or both at the same time are reviewed. The evolution of synthesis techniques and how …

Condensed matter is one of the most active areas of research in physics. Ev ery year new
materials are discovered with properties that are as challenging as or more than those of the …

The features and mechanism of Colossal Magnetoresistance, or CMR, in manganese oxides
as well as device physics are highlighted in this book, with a focus on tunneling MR for some …

As a result of important advances over the last decade, block copolymer melts have become
an excellent model system for studying fundamental phenomena associated with molecular …

The coexistence of distinct metallic and insulating electronic phases within the same sample
of a perovskite manganite,,,,,, such as La1-xy Pr y Ca x MnO3, presents researchers with a …
