Abstract

The sensitivity of ρ to changes in volume which occur through: (1) applied pressure, (2) variations in temperature, and (3) phase transitions, is evaluated for some selected CMR oxides. It is argued that the changes in volume associated with (2) and (3), which are referred to as self pressures, are equivalent in magnitude to changes in volume resulting from pressures in the range of 0.18 to 0.45 GPa. Through consideration of thermal expansion and electrical resistivity data, it is shown that these self pressures are responsible for large features in the electrical resistivity and are an important component for the occurrence of the metallicity below Tc. It is suggested that this is a manifestation of a strong volume dependence of the electron phonon coupling in the CMR oxides.
