Crossover from large to small polarons across the metal-insulator transition in manganites

We report Mn K -edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectra on La0.75Ca0.25MnO3 up to high momentum transfer across the metal-insulator (M-I) transition. The data show compelling evidence for (i) large or intermediate Jahn-Teller polarons (IJTP), characterized by an anomalous longer Mn-O b...
