POSSIBLE P-WAVE CONDENSED CONDUCTOR (OR SUPERCONDUCTOR) FOR La1-xCaxMnO3 FILMS
A ferromagnetic phase with electron carriers and a semiconducting phase with hole carriers were separated in La 1-x Ca x MnO 3 thin films by the van der Pauw method. We conclude that two phases are attributed to the metal-insulator instability. In the ferromagnetic phase for films with anisotropic moments in two dimensions, a remnant resistivity of the order of 10-8Ωm is observed up to 100 K and increases exponentially with temperature up to Tc and above one Tesla as a function of magnetic field strength (a positive magnetoresistivity). The phase below Tc is regarded as a polaronic state with a polaronic tunneling conduction. Possible p-wave condensation (or superconductor) with a parabolic density of states and the phase separation are discussed on the basis of the two-fold degeneracy of eg orbitals.
