Abstract

We solve the double exchange model in the presence of arbitrary substitutional disorder by using a self consistently generated effective Hamiltonian for the spin degrees of freedom. The magnetic properties are studied through classical Monte Carlo while the effective exchange, DijD_{ij}, are calculated by solving the disordered fermion problem, and renormalised self-consistently with increasing temperature. We present exact results on the conductivity, magnetoresistance, optical response and `real space' structure of the inhomogeneous ferromagnetic state, and compare our results with charge dynamics in disordered La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO_3. The large sizes, O(103){\cal O} (10^3), accessible within our method allows a complete, controlled calculation on the disordered strongly interacting problem.
