Abstract

Samples of La1 − x Ca x Mn1 − z O3 + δ (x = 0.05−0.15) with deficient manganese and excess oxygen δ do not pass into a metallic state and have low spin ordering temperatures T C at acceptor Mn4+ concentrations near the percolation threshold. These results are explained by carrier localization in clusters near cation vacancies. A break in the carrier transport chain Mn-O-Mn in the form of absent manganese favors cluster formation and decreases the double exchange energy and T C of the samples. Closeness to the percolation threshold results in strong (more than four orders of magnitude) changes in the electrical resistivity in a magnetic field. The changes in the cluster sizes with the temperature and the magnetic field that are determined from the magnetotransport properties are satisfactorily described in the model of phase separation into small-radius metallic droplets in a dielectric paramagnetic and an antiferromagnetic matrices.
