Resistivity of Mn-oxideschanges by 10 orders ofmagnitude at low T (1994)
Big Dreams: Potential applications inread sensors. GMR already in computers.Critical temperatures must be raised.
(1) Phase competition FM Metal vs. CO/AF Insulator is the basis of the phenomenon.(2) Simulations of simple models (resistor networks) show CMR.(3) Both strong Hund coupling and JT phonons needed.
Very recent effort at UT/ORNL aims to observe CMR in doubleexchange models of Mn oxides. It exploits (i) ORNL computers facilities with thousands of processors for parallel computing, (ii) new algorithms TPEM.
