摘要：

Resistivity (15-710 K), magnetization (80-723 K), and calorimetric (200-623 K) measurements on La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 have shown evidence for the formation of Jahn-Teller (JT) polarons below similar to 545 K. Above 560 K, activated conduction with E-a = 0.05 eV is observed and chi(-1)(T) shows Curie-Weiss behaviour. Over the temperature range 270-340 K, the conductivity follows Mott's VRH model and chi(-1)(T) provides evidence of the formation of spin clusters. Calorimetric study shows phase transitions at T-c (=245 K), 345 K and 545 K. The role of the JT polaron in determining the electronic and magnetic properties above T-c is discussed.
