摘要
Without Mn3+/Mn4+ mixed-valence or Jahn-Teller distortions in the MnO6 octahedra, the origin of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in the pyrochlore Tl2Mn2O7 is thought to arise instead from superexchange with large incoherent scattering near the ferromagnetic transition. Using x-ray-absorption spectroscopy, we have shown that the electronic state of T1 is nearly identical to that in Tl2O3, indicating doping into the T1 6s bands, that there is no appreciable Mn mixed valence, and that the MnO6 octahedra are well ordered. This further supports the proposed mechanism for CMR in Tl2Mn2O7 based on our earlier structural studies.
