摘要
We have investigated the volume collapse occurring in LaMnO3 unit cell using the anisotropic Potts model modified by two types of anisotropic interactions which has been used to study the behavior of the orbital-ordering configurations with temperature. The bond lengths are related to the occupation of the orbits. We have shown that the collapse is due to the change of Mn-O bonds as the temperature is raised through the transition. These results are in good agreement with the recently published experimental results.
