Abstract

The present study focuses on a quantitative analysis of electrical resistivity in monovalent-doped manganites La1−x Ag x MnO3 (x = 0.05 and 0.1). The electrical resistivity data in the ferromagnetic (FM) metallic phase are analyzed by considering a temperature-independent inelastic scattering of the electrons (due to domain and grain boundaries, defects, etc.) and other temperature-dependent elastic scattering mechanisms (electron–electron, electron–phonon, and electron–magnon). The Debye and Einstein temperatures are deduced from the model Hamiltonian containing potential energy contribution from the long-range Coulomb, van der Waals (vdW) interaction, and short-range repulsive interaction up to the second-neighbor ions. The electron–phonon scattering partially describes the reported FM metallic resistivity behavior with temperature for La1−x Ag x MnO3 (x = 0.05 and 0.1). The T 2 and T 4.5 terms accounting for electron–electron and electron–magnon interactions are essential for the correct description of resistivity. The Mott–Ioffe–Regel criterion for metallic conductivity is valid, and k F l ∼ 1, εFτ ∼ 1.
