The structural, electronic, and magnetic phase transformations induced in the temperature range of 4.2-300 K by the isovalent substitution of the rare earth Sm 3+ ion for the La 3+ ion with a larger radius have been investigated in the system of self doped manganites La 1 -y Sm y MnO 3 + δ (δ ~ 0.1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1). It has been found using the X ray diffraction analysis that the substitution La Sm is accompanied by a significant increase of the GdFeO 3 type and Jahn-Teller type lattice distortions. At a temperature of 300 K, an increase in the Sm concentration y leads to a concentration phase transition from the pseudocubic O* phase to the orthorhombic O' phase, as well as to the appearance of an s shaped anomaly of the lattice parameter a at con centrations y ≥ 0.4 and an anomalous peak in the concentration dependence of the electrical resistance R(y) near y ≈ 0.85. The magnetic T-y-〈r A 〉 phase diagrams of the La 1 -y Sm y MnO 3 + δ system in the temperature range of 4.2-250 K have been constructed according to the results of measurements of the temperature dependences of the direct current (dc) magnetization M(T). It has been revealed that the samples with y ≥ 0.8 exhibit signs of the melting of the A and CE type modulated antiferromagnetic (AFM) structures in the form of an anomalous decrease both in the critical temperature of the transition to a frustrated AFM state and in the magnetization of the samples with an increase in the concentration y. The anomalies observed in the temperature dependences of the alternating current (ac) dielectric permittivity of the La 1 -y Sm y MnO 3 + δ samples have been explained within the existing concepts of the Bose-Einstein condensation of an electronhole liquid in the form of metallic droplets in an excitonic insulator.
