Metal-Insulator transitions driven by magnetic field in half-doped manganites — •Horacio Aliaga and Dieter Vollhardt — Institut fuer Physik, Universitaet Augsburg D-86135, Germany

We study the first order transition between an antiferromagnetic (AF) charge-ordered (CO) insulator to a ferromagnetic (FM) metal under external applied magnetic field. The temperature variation of the charge gap and magnetization as a function of temperature for different magnetic fields are calculated using a model that considers the competition between double exchange (DE), super exchange (SE) and electron-phonon interactions. We show a comparison to transport and magnetization experiments in related compounds.
