Scientific paper

Recent computational studies of models for manganese oxides have revealed a rich phase diagram, not anticipated in early calculations in this context performed in the 1950's and 60's. In particular, the transition between the antiferromagnetic insulator state of the hole-undoped limit and the ferromagnetic metal at finite hole-density was found to occur through a mixed-phase process. When extended Coulomb interactions are included, a microscopically charge inhomogeneous state should be stabilized. These phase separation tendencies, also present at low electronic densities, influence the properties of the ferromagnetic region by increasing charge fluctuations. Experimental data reviewed here using several techniques for manganites and other materials are consistent with this scenario. Similarities with results previously discussed in the context of cuprates are clear from this analysis, although the phase segregation tendencies in manganites seem stronger.
