ABSTRACTThe sensitivity of ρ to changes in volume which occur through: (1) applied pressure, (2) variations in temperature, and (3) phase transitions, is evaluated for some selected CMR oxides. It is argued that the changes in volume associated with (2) and (3), which are referred to as self pressures, are equivalent in magnitude to changes in volume resulting from pressures in the range of 0.18 to 0.45 GPa. Through consideration of thermal expansion and electrical resistivity data, it is shown that these self pressures are responsible for large features in the electrical resistivity and are an important component for the occurrence of the metallicity below Tc. It is suggested that this is a manifestation of a strong volume dependence of the electron phonon coupling in the CMR oxides.

Polar Materials

The Crystallization of polarons at finite density, due to the long-range Coulomb forces — when no bipolarons can be formed — is discussed close to the metal–insulator transition (MIT). As a function of the density, the melting is examined at zero temperature. By calculating the quantum fluctuations of both the electron and the polarization, we show that at strong electron–phonon coupling the dissociation of the polarons at the MIT is favored, rather than the melting towards a polaron liquid. In this regime, we demonstrate, that an instability of the transverse vibrational modes of the polaron crystal occurs as the density increases. This provides a new physical mechanism for the MIT in polar materials, for which an experimental signature is predicted.

Half Filling

We consider a one-dimensional system of electrons interacting via a short-range repulsion and coupled to phonons close to the metal-insulator transition at half-filling. We argue that the metal-insulator transition can be described as a standard one-dimensional incommensurate to commensurate transition, even if the electronic system is coupled to the lattice distortion. By making use of known results for this transition, we prove that low-momentum phonons, with the inclusion of the 4kF (≃2π near half-filling) scattering, do not play any relevant role close to the metal-insulator transition, unless their coupling to the electrons is large in comparison with the other energy scales present in the problem. In other words the effective strength of the low-momentum transferred electron-phonon coupling does not increase close to the metal-insulator transition, even though the effective velocity of the mobile carriers is strongly diminished.
