摘要
The ferromagnetic manganites A(1-x)B(x)MnO(3) (A a trivalent element and B divalent) have been the subject of intensive study in the past few years. These manganites exhibit colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), i.e. their resistance can drop several orders of magnitude under influence of an external magnetic field. Electronic structure calculations show that these manganites are half-metallic: they are conducting for one spin direction exclusively. The possible relation between half-metallic magnetism and colossal magnetoresistance is discussed. Copyright (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
