We propose that a specific spatial configuration of lattice sites that energetically favor {\it 3+} or {\it 4+} Mn ions in moderately doped manganites constitutes approximately a spatially random two-energy-level system. Such an effect…
A double exchange model for degenerate $e_g$ orbitals with intra- and inter-orbital interactions has been studied for the electron doped manganites A$_{1-x}$B$_{x}$MnO$_3$ ($x > 0.5$). We show that such a model reproduces the observed phase…

In the manganites $RE_{1-x}AE_{x}$MnO$_{3}$ ($RE$ and $AE$ being rare-earth and alkaline-earth elements, respectively) the random distribution of $RE^{3+}$ and $AE^{2+}$ induces random, but correlated, shifts of site energies of charge…
