In hole-doped LaMnO 3 , i.e., La is partially substituted by Ca or Sr, the manganese ions are in a mixed-valent state of two magnetic configurations, Mn 4+ ͑spin 3 / 2͒ and Mn 3+ ͑S =2͒, while in electron-doped LaMnO 3 , where La is partially replaced by Ce, the two mixed-valent configurations are Mn 3+ and Mn 2+ ͑S* =5/ 2, half-filled shell͒. The Mn 3+ configuration can be considered an e g hole in the half-filled shell. The e g holes are allowed to hop between the Mn sites with hopping amplitude t, but the multiple occupancy of the e g levels is excluded at each site by a large Coulomb energy. This hopping of the e g holes gives rise to the ferromagnetic double-exchange mechanism, which competes with the antiferromagnetic superexchange J between the localized spins S. By using a mean-field slave-boson formulation, we calculate the ground state energy of the system for the localized spins oriented in the magnetic configurations of the A, B, C, and G phases of La 1−y Ce y MnO 3 as a function of y and one model parameter, J / t. Although the models are quite different, the phase diagram for electron doping is similar to that for hole doping. The effect of canting of the spins on the band structure of the itinerant e g electrons and the stability of the A and B phases toward canting are discussed.
