Starting from a spin-orbital model for doped manganites, we investigate a competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order in a one-dimensional model at finite temperature. The magnetic and orbital order at half filling support each other and depend on a small antiferromagnetic superexchange between t2g spins and on an alternating Jahn-Teller potential. The crossover to a metallic ferromagnetic phase found at finite doping is partly suppressed by the Jahn-Teller potential which may localize eg electrons.[published in phys. stat. sol. 242, 311 (2005)] Copyright line will be provided by the publisher 1 Introduction The transition from an insulating to metallic behavior in doped manganites, observed as a function of temperature or filling, is one of the outstanding problems in the field of strongly correlated systems. The theoretical challenge is to understand a rich variety of metallic, insulating, magnetically ordered and orbital ordered phases of doped manganites in terms of the dynamics of correlated e g electrons which involves their orbital degrees of freedom [1]. Magnetic interactions: spin superexchange (SE) and double exchange (DE), as well as orbital SE, frustrate each other and their competition leads to several magnetic phases, including phase separation [2].While orbital order supports A-type antiferromagnetic (AF) phase in LaMnO 3 [3], one expects that e g orbitals play an important role in the insulating ferromagnetic (FM) phase at finite doping, below the crossover to a metallic FM phase [1]. Here we investigate a one-dimensional (1D) model derived from the realistic spin-orbital model for manganites [3], showing an interplay between spin and orbital order.
