Abstract
A spin-polaron Hamiltonian is proposed to study the electrical conductivity in perovskite structures. A crossover from the metallic conduction at low temperatures to the hopping-type conduction at high temperature is calculated within the proposed model Hamiltonian. It is found that most of the experimental observations on resistivity and colossal magnetoresistance can be well explained with the assumption of the existence of spin clusters.
