We present a simplified model for the colossal magnetoresistance in doped manganites by exactly solving a double-exchange model (with Ising-like local spins) and quenched binary disorder within dynamical mean field theory. We examine the magnetic properties and the electrical and thermal transport. Our solution illustrates three different physical regimes: (i) a weak-disorder regime, where the system acts like a renormalized double-exchange system (which is insufficient to describe the behavior in the manganites); (ii) a strong-disorder regime, where the system is described by strong-coupling physics about an insulating phase (which is the most favorable for large magnetoresistance); and (iii) a transition region of moderate disorder, where both double-exchange and strong-coupling effects are important. We use the thermopower as a stringent test for the applicability of this model to the manganites and find that the model is unable to properly account for the sign change of the thermopower seen in experiment.
