We present a study of the effect of biaxial strain on the electrical and magnetic properties of thin films of manganites. We observe that manganite films grown under biaxial compressive strain exhibit island growth morphology which leads to…
Ferromagnetic (FM) manganites, a group of likely half-metallic oxides, are of special interest not only because they are a testing ground of the classical doubleexchange interaction mechanism for the colossal magnetoresistance, but also…
Based on the model combining the spin double exchange and the lattice polaron, we have studied the colossal magnetoresistance phenomena observed in perovskite manganites R_{1-x}A_xMnO_3. First, effects of both the double exchange and the…
We study a two-dimensional effective orbital superexchange model derived for strongly correlated e_g electrons coupled to t_{2g} core spins in layered manganites. One finds that the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic correlations closely…

We study the two orbital double-exchange model in two dimensions in the presence of antiferromagnetic (AF) superexchange, strong Jahn-Teller coupling, and substitutional disorder. At hole doping x=0.5 we explore the `bicritical' regime…
By reducing an electronically phase separated manganite (La[1-y]Pr[y])[x]Ca[1-x]MnO3 single crystal thin film to dimensions on the order of the inherent phase domains, it is possible to isolate and monitor the behavior of single domains at…
Spin-state transitions, observed in many transition metal compounds containing Co$^{3+}$ and Fe$^{2+}$, may occur with the change of temperature, pressure, but also with doping, in which case the competition of single-site effects and…
Using the degenerate double exchange Hamiltonian with on-site Coulomb interactions we show that there is an instability towards the displacement of the manganese ion in La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_{3}. The result is a dipole moment due to the charge…
Ferromagnetic systems described by the double exchange model are investigated. At temperatures close to the Curie temperature, and for a wide range of doping levels, the system is unstable toward phase separation. The chemical potential…
Controlling the polarization switching in the ferroelectric nanocrystals, nanowires and nanodots has an inherent specificity related to the emergence of depolarization field that is associated with the spontaneous polarization. This field…

Ferroelectrics form domain patterns that minimize their energy subject to imposed boundary conditions. In a linear, constrained theory, that neglects domain wall energy, periodic domain patterns in the form of multi-rank laminates can be…
The resistivity $\rho_{dc}$ of manganites is studied using a random-resistor-network, based on phase-separation between metallic and insulating domains. When percolation occurs, both as chemical composition and temperature vary, results in…
We present a single-orbital double-exchange model, coupled with cooperative phonons (the so called breathing-modes of the oxygen octahedra in manganites). The model is studied with Monte Carlo simulations. For a finite range of doping and…
