Substituted neodymium-based manganites

For several decades now, materials with perovskite structures have been attracting growing interest due to the diversity of their properties and their potential applications in cutting-edge fields. Among them, manganites stand out for their specific magnetic and electronic behaviors, such as colossal magnetoresistance and the magnetocaloric effect, paving the way for innovative technologies like sensors, recording devices or magnetic refrigeration systems.In this context, this book offers an in-depth study of substituted neodymium manganites. It combines the fundamental concepts needed to understand the physical mechanisms involved with recent experimental and theoretical results, in order to gain a better understanding of their structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties.The aim is to offer the reader, whether researcher, student or materials science enthusiast, a clear and coherent presentation of the phenomena observed and their applications, making complex concepts accessible while preserving scientific rigor.
