Abstract

We consider the two-band double exchange model for manganites with Jahn-Teller (JT) coupling and explore the suppression of the ferromagnetism because of the JT distortion. The localized spins of the t2g\emph{t}_{2g} electrons are represented in terms of the Schwinger bosons, and two spin-singlet Fermion operators are introduced instead of the ege_{g} electrons' operators. In terms of the new Fermi fields the on-site Hund's interaction is in a diagonal form and one accounts for it exactly. Integrating out the spin-singlet fermions, we derive an effective Heisenberg model for a vector which describes the local orientations of the total magnetization. The exchange constants are different for different space directions and depend on the density nn of eg\emph{e}_{g} electrons and JT energy. At zero temperature, with increasing the density of the eg\emph{e}_{g} electrons the system undergoes phase transition from ferromagnetic phase (0<n<nc)(0<n<n_c) to A-type antiferromagnetic phase (nc<n)(n_c<n). The critical value ncn_c decreases as JT energy is increased. At finite temperature we calculate the Curie temperature as a function of electron density for different JT energy. The results show that JT coupling strongly suppresses the spin fluctuations and decreases the Curie temperature.
