Lattice effects in magnetoresistive manganese perovskites

Nature volume 392, pages 147–150 (1998)Cite this article

Abstract

The discovery of spectacularly large magnetoresistive responses in a class of metallic manganese oxides has raised hopes that these compounds might be of practical utility. But regardless of whether this promise is realized, these materials provide an ideal system in which to elucidate the properties of metals in which electron–lattice interactions play a key role.
