The $La_{1-x} Sr_x MnO_3$ system with $0.2 \lesssim x \lesssim 0.4$ has traditionally been modelled with a ``double exchange'' Hamiltonian, in which it is assumed that the only relevant physics is the tendency of carrier hopping to line up…
We use the dynamical mean field method to study a model of electrons Jahn-Teller coupled to localized classical oscillators and ferromagnetically coupled to ``core spins'', which, we argue, contains the essential physics of the ``colossal…

This is the first systematic ESR investigation of La_(1-x)Sr_(x)MnO_(3) single crystals for Sr concentrations x < 0.2. The rich phase diagram of this compound, which is dominated by the Jahn-Teller effect of Mn^(3+), is a matter of actual…
The Jahn-Teller effect in the charge-ordered (CO) state for La1-xCaxMnO3 (0.5<x<0.87) was studied by measuring the low-temperature powder x-ray diffraction, internal friction, and shear modulus. We find that the electron-lattice interaction…

We report on detailed structural, electronic and magnetic studies of GdMn$_{1-x}$Cr$_x$O$_3$ for Cr doping levels 0 $\le$ $x$ $\le$ 1. In the solid solutions, the Jahn-Teller distortion associated with Mn$^{3+}$ ions gives rise to major…
Exotic quantum phases, arising from a complex interplay of charge, spin, lattice and orbital degrees of freedom, are of immense interest to a wide research community. A well-known example of such an entangled behavior is the Jahn-Teller…
We observe two consecutive transitions in La1-xCaxMnO3, x=0.19: ferromagnetic ordering at Tc = 177 K and Jahn-Teller orbital ordering at T_JT = 150 K. The presence of a ferromagnetic insulating state below T_JT shows that the metallic phase…

We introduce an effective model for $e_g$ electrons to describe three-dimensional perovskite (La$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$MnO$_3$ and La$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$MnO$_3$) manganites and study the magnetic and orbital order on $4\times 4\times 4$ cluster using…

Distortions of the oxygen sublattice couple to $e_g$ orbitals of Mn$^{3+}$ and drive a cooperative Jahn-Teller (orbital ordering) transition in LaMnO$_3$. A simple model for this transition is studied. Without further adjustment, the model…
We propose a mechanism for A-type antiferromagnetism in orthorombic LaMnO_3, compatible with the large Jahn-Teller splitting inferred from structural data. Orbital ordering resulting from Jahn-Teller distortions effectively leads to A-type…
