Nanoscale Phase Separation and Colossal Magnetoresistance

Condensed matter is one of the most active areas of research in physics. Ev­ ery year new materials are discovered with properties that are as challenging as or more than those of the year before. The effort is led mainly by exper­ imentalists, who systematically manage to prepare compounds with exotic new properties, including complex ground states involving nontrivial spin, charge, lattice, and ...
