Abstract

Small Drude weight D together with small specific heat coefficient γ observed in the ferromagnetic phase of R1-xAxMnO3 (R=La, Pr, Nd, Sm; A=Ca, Sr, Ba) are analyzed in terms of a proximity effect of the Mott insulator. The scaling theory for the metal-insulator transition with the critical enhancement of orbital correlations toward the staggered ordering of two eg orbitals such as 3x2 - r2 and 3y2 - r2 symmetries may lead to the critical exponents of D ∞ δu and γ ∞ δv with u = 3/2 and v = 0. The result agrees with the experimental indications.
