Abstract

We use the Mott-Littleton approach to evaluate the electronic and ionic polarisation energies in LaMnO3 lattice associated with holes localised on both Mn3+ cation and O2- anion. The full lattice relaxation energy for a hole localised at the O-site is estimated as 2.4 eV which is appreciably greater than that of 0.8 eV for a hole localised at the Mn-site, indicating the strong electron-phonon interaction in the former case. The calculated thermal energies of the hole formation predict that the electronic hole is marginally more stable in the Mn4- state in LaMnO3 host lattice. but the energy of a hole in the O- state is only higher by a small amount, rather suggesting that both possibilities should be treated seriously.
