Manganites are famous mostly for the colossal magnetoresistive effect, which involves the phase separation between ferromagnetic phase and charge-ordered CE-type antiferromagnetic phases. Furthermore, manganites contain some typical magnetic ferroelectrics, e.g. E-type antiferromagnetic $o$-HoMnO$_3$. Here we re-examined these zigzag-winding antiferromagnetic phases (CE-type and E-type antiferromagnets) from the topological perspective. Our theoretical analysis proved that the E-type phase is a weak topological insulator belonging to the $\mathbb{Z}$ class. In momentum space, we classify the symmetries of this phase, and find the three symmetry operators for the chiral, particle-hole, and time-reversal symmetry. The CE-type phase can be described by the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau algebra, implying that it is a new class of topological insulator and hence extends the existing classification. The corresponding topological end states are demonstrated via numerical calculations, which may implicate the experimental observed ferromagnetic edge states in manganite strips (Nat. Commun. 6, 6179 (2015)) and may play a crucial role in the colossal magnetoresistive effect.
Colossal electroresistance and colossal magnetoresistive step in paramagnetic insulating phase of single crystalline bilayered manganite(La$_{0.4}$Pr$_{0.6}$)$_{1.2}$Sr$_{1.8}$Mn$_{2}$O$_{7}$
我们报告了在（La $_{0.4}$ Pr $_{0.6}$）$_{1.2}$ Sr $_{1.8}$ Mn $_{2}$ O $_{7}$的顺磁绝缘（PMI）状态下在$ab$ -平面上施加电流引起的低温电阻的显著降低。在较低的温度下观察到一个巨大的电阻效应，达到~ 95%。在低于10 K的低温下，在5 T附近出现一个巨大的磁阻阶跃，并伴随着绝缘体-金属转变的超尖锐宽度。向晶体注入更高的电流会导致阶跃跃迁消失。这些发现与研究晶体的PMI矩阵内钉扎的短程电荷有序簇的存在有密切的关系。
A phenomenological model for magnetoresistance in granular polycrystalline colossal magnetoresistive materials: the role of spin polarised tunnelling at the grain boundaries
已经观察到，在磁致电阻（CMR）材料的块状和多晶薄膜中，与单晶或低于铁磁转变温度Tc的单晶膜相比，磁阻遵循不同的行为。在本文中，我们发展了一个唯象模型来解释磁场依赖的电阻在颗粒CMR材料考虑到自旋极化隧道在晶界。该模型已被拟合到两个系统，即La 0.55 Ho 0.15 Sr 0.3 MnO 3和La 1.8 Y 0.5 Ca 0.7 Mn 2 O 7。从拟合的结果中，我们已经分离出，在La 0.55Ho 0.15Sr 0.3MnO 3，来自自旋极化隧道在晶界的磁电阻的晶粒间的贡献的内在贡献。结果表明，La_（0.55）Ho_（0.15）Sr_（0.3）MnO_3的本征磁电阻效应随温度的变化符合双交换模型的预测.
We use femtosecond x-ray diffraction to study the structural response of charge and orbitally ordered Pr$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$MnO$_3$ thin films across a phase transition induced by 800 nm laser pulses. By investigating the dynamics of both superlattice reflections and regular Bragg peaks, we disentangle the different structural contributions and analyze their relevant time-scales. The dynamics of the structural and charge order response are qualitatively different when excited above and below a critical fluence $f_c$. For excitations below $f_c$ the charge order and the superlattice is only partially…
Here, we report a systematic study on the Hall-effect of the semi-metallic state of bulk MoTe$_2$, which was recently claimed to be a candidate for a novel type of Weyl semi-metallic state. The temperature ($T$) dependence of the carrier densities and of their mobilities, as estimated from a numerical analysis based on the isotropic two-carrier model, indicates that its exceedingly large and non-saturating magnetoresistance may be attributed to a near perfect compensation between the densities of electrons and holes at low temperatures. A sudden increase in hole density, with a concomitant rap…
Open Questions in CMR Manganites, Relevance of Clustered States, and Analogies with other Compounds
这是一篇非正式的论文，其中包含了锰氧化物中“我们知道的事情”和“我们不知道的事情”的列表。它改编自作者最近的一本书的结论章节，{ \it纳米级相分离和巨磁阻。The Physics of Manganites and Related Compounds}，Springer-Verlag，柏林，2002年11月。最近锰氧化物研究的主要新结果是发现了在实验和模型模拟中存在不均匀状态的趋势。巨磁阻效应似乎与这些混合相趋势密切相关，尽管需要更多的工作来充分证实这些想法。该文件还包括铜酸盐，稀磁半导体，弛豫铁电体，钴矿，有机和重费米子超导体的信息。这些材料潜在地与锰氧化物共享一些共同的现象学，例如高于反常行为开始的有序温度的温度标度$T^*$。这些材料中的许多还存在低温相竞争。简要讨论了在不涉及铁磁体的化合物中出现类铁磁效应的可能性。总体而言，它的结论是，不均匀的“集群”状态应被视为一个新的范例，在凝聚态物理，因为它们的存在似乎是更常见的比以前预期的。
Colossal magnetoresistance without phase separation: Disorder-induced spin glass state and nanometer scale orbital-charge correlation in half doped manganites
本文研究了高质量$A$位无序（固溶体）$_{0.5}$单晶在自旋玻璃绝缘体与磁阻铁磁金属相界附近的磁学和电学性质。详细分析了Eu $_{0.5}$ Ba $_{0.5}$ MnO $_3$的交流磁化率和X射线漫散射随温度的变化关系。具有小带宽的Ln $_{0.5}$ Ba $_{0.5}$ MnO $_3$晶体中随机势扰动的均匀性产生了均匀的短程电荷/轨道有序，而不是相分离，从而产生了近原子的自旋玻璃态。值得注意的是，这种微观无序的“CE玻璃”状态本身就能够产生巨大的磁阻。
