Abstract
The effect of giant dielectric permittivity due to phase separation accompanied by charged inhomogeneities in low-doped manganites is discussed. The effect appears in the vicinity of the second-order magnetic phase transition and is caused by long-range Coulomb forces. The long-range Coulomb interaction is responsible for the formation of inhomogeneous charged states and determines their characteristic length scales. We derive the phase diagram of the inhomogeneous charged states in the framework of the phenomenological theory of phase transitions. The large value of the static dielectric function reduces the characteristic value of the Coulomb energy of the inhomogeneous state and makes the appearance of the magnetoelectric effect possible. We discuss the formation of a state with giant dielectric permittivity and magneto-capacitance effects in that case.
