Domain Formation and Orbital Ordering Transition in a Doped Jahn-Teller Insulator

Abstract

The ground state of a double-exchange model for orbitally degenerate $e_g$ electrons with Jahn-Teller lattice coupling and weak disorder is found to be spatially inhomogeneous near half filling. Using a real space Monte-Carlo method we show that doping the half-filled orbitally ordered insulator leads to the appearance of hole-rich disordered regions in an orbitally ordered environment. The doping driven orbital order to disorder transition is accompanied by the emergence of metallic behavior. We present results on transport and optical properties along with spatial patterns for lattice distortions and charge densities, providing a basis for an overall understanding of the low doping phase diagram of La${}_{1-x}$Ca${}_x$MnO${}_3$.
