A simple model of charge ordering is considered. It is shown explicitly that at any deviation from half-filling ($n \neq 1/2$) the system is unstable with respect to phase separation into charge ordered regions with $n = 1/2$ and metallic…
Magnetoresistance (MR) and magnetization (d.c and a.c) measurements have been carried out on the manganites, (La0.7-2xEux)(Ca0.3Srx)MnO3 (0.05<x<0.15), in the temperature range of 5K-320K. At 5K, an unusually large MR of almost 98% is…
Recent experiments showed that the robust charge-ordering in manganites can be weakened by reducing the grain size down to nanoscale. Weak ferromagnetism was evidenced in both nanoparticles and nanowires of charge-ordered manganites. To…
