Polycrystalline $La_{2.1}Sr_{1.9}Mn_3O_{10}$ with layered perovskite structure have been successfully synthesized and investigated with respect to their thermoelectric, electric and magnetic properties. The large magnetoresistance (MR) effect with $-{\Delta}{\rho}/{\rho}_0$ of ∼120% at 0.85T was observed in a wide temperature range below a cusp temperature in resistivity of about 120K, which is well below the magnetic $T_C$. At high temperature, a singnificant difference between the activation energy deduced from the electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power, a characteristic of small polaron, is observed. All of the experimental data can be well explained on the basis of the small polaron model.

The temperature dependence of dc conductivity and magnetic properties of cation deficient {{{{ { {(LaMn) }_{1-λ }O }_{3 } }} systems has been investigated,. Above 160K the magnetic susceptibility of all samples followed the Curie-Weiss law. The Curie temperature decreased as the cation deficiency increased. This is due to a strong Jahn-Teller effect originated from electrons of {{{{ { Mn}^{3+ } }} In the case of samples annealed in air and oxygen at-mosphere the charge carriers responsible for conduction in the ferromagnetic regime below the Curie tem-perature are believed to have both magnetic and lattice characteristics. However the conduction carriers in the paramagnetic regime above the Curie temperature are though to be formed by hopping process of small polarons which were generated by assistance of the Jahn-Teller effect.

The thermoelectric power, dc conductivity and magnetic properties of the cubic L $a_{2}$ 3/Ti $O_{2.84}$ were investigated. The thermoelectric power was negative below 350 K. The measured thermoelectric power of L $a_{2}$ 3/Ti $O_{2.84}$ increased linearly with temperature, in agreement with model proposed by Emin and Wood, and was represented by A+BT. Temperature dependence indicates that the charge carrier in this material is a small polaron. L $a_{2}$ 3/Ti $O_{2.84}$ exhibited a cross over from variable range hopping to small polaron hopping conduction at a characteristic temperature well below room temperature. The low temperature do conduction mechanism in L $a_{2}$ 3/Ti $O_{2.84}$ was analyzed using Mott's approach. Mott parameter analysis gave values for the density of state at Fermi level [N( $E_{F}$)] = 3.18${\times}$10$^{20}$ c $m^{-3}$ e $V^{-1}$ . The disorder energy ( $W_{d}$) was found to be 0.93 eV, However, it was noted that the value of the disorder energy was much higher than the high temperature activation energy. The exist linear relation between log($\sigma$T)와 1/T in the range of 200 to 300 K, the activation energy for small polaron hopping was 0.15 eV.

We studied the magnetic and the related electronic properties of Ni-doped rutile $TiO_{2-{\delta}}$ films (including oxygen deficiency $\delta$) prepared using a sol-gel method. A room-temperature ferromagnetism was observed in the $TiO_{2-{\delta}}$ : Ni films with the saturation magnetization ($M_S$) decreasing with increasing Ni doping and remaining constant above 6 at% Ni doping. The observed ferromagnetism below 6 at% Ni doping is interpreted as due to magnetic polaron formed by a trapped electron in oxygen vacancy and magnetic impurity ions around it. For small Ni doping, $M_S$ up to $3.7{\mu}B/Ni$ was obtained. The ferromagnetism for Ni doping above 6 at% is interpreted as due to the existence of Ni clusters that can explain the p-n conductivity transition observed by Hall effect measurements.

Magnetic and transport properties in the ceramic specimen of L $a_{0.7}$S $r_{0.3}$Fe $O_3$ with orthohombic structure has been investigated. Weak ferromagnetism has been observed in a ceramic sample of L $a_{0.7}$S $r_{0.3}$Fe $O_3$. Large dielectric relaxation of Debye type is observed in paramagnetic states within the temperature range of 130K~200K. From the temperature dependence of the characteristic frequency, we concluded that the elementary process of the dispersion is related to holes hopping between F $e^{3+}$ and F $e^{4+}$ ions. The temperature dependencies of thermoelectric power and Dc conductivity suggest that the charge carrier responsible for the conduction are strongly localized. These experimental results have been interpreted in terms of a hopping process involving small polaron.n.laron.n.

The Jahn-Teller distortion of chalcogenide $Fe_{0.9}M_{0.1}Cr_2S_4$ (M=Co, Ni, Zn) have been investigated by M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. The crystal structures of $Fe_{0.9}M_{0.1}Cr_2S_4$ (M=Co, Ni, Zn) are cubic spinel at room temperature. Magnetoresistance measurements indicate these system is conducting-semiconducting transistion around $T_C$. Below $T_C$, the asymmetric line broadening is observed and considered to be dynamic Jahn-Teller distortion. Isomer shift value of the samples at room temperature was about 0.5 mm/s, which means that charge state of Fe ions is ferrous in character. The Ni substitutions for Fe occur to increase the Jahn-Teller relaxation. CMR properties could be explained with magnetic polaron due to Jahn-Teller effect, which is different from both the double exchange interactions of manganite system and the triple exchange interactions of chalcogenide $Cu_xFe_{1-x}Cr_2S_4$.

We present the results of a combined magnetization, dc and magneto-transport study of the n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper compound $Ca_3Mn_2O_7$ The negative thermoelectric powder is observed. The magnetic measurement data show that there is sharp magnetic transition at 134 K. However, the de and magnetoresistance of $Ca_3Mn_2O_7$ show no particular transport. Transport properties of the compound $Ca_3Mn_2O_7$ are interpreted in terms of activated hopping of small polarons in non-adiabatic regime. Polarons are most probably formed around $Mn^{3+}$ sites created by oxygen sub-stoichiometry.

The electrical transport properties of $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CrO_3$ below room temperatures were investigated by dielectric, dc resistivity, magnetic properties and thermoelectric power. Below $T_c$, $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CrO_3$ contains a dielectric relaxation process in the tangent loss and electric modulus. The $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CrO_3$ involves the transition from high temperature thermal activated conduction process to low temperature one. The transition temperature corresponds well to the Curie point. The relaxation mechanism has been discussed in the frame of electric modulus spectra. The scaling behavior of the modulus suggests that the relaxation mechanism describes the same mechanism at various temperatures. The low temperature conduction and relaxation takes place in the ferromagnetic phase. The ferromagnetic state in $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CrO_3$ indicates that the electron - magnon interaction occurs, and drives the carriers towards localization in tandem with the electron - lattice interaction even at temperature above the Curie temperature.

A room-temperature ferromagnetism has been observed for oxygen-deficient rutile and anatase $TiO_{2-{\delta}}$ films. XPS data revealed the existence of $Ti^{3+}$ ions, for compensating the charge imbalance caused by oxygen vacancies in the film. The observed ferromagnetism is attributable to the spin ($3d^1$) alignment of the $Ti^{3+}$ ions. Such spin alignment can happen through magnetic polaron formed by trapped electron in oxygen vacancy and magnetic $Ti^{3+}$ ions around it.

We have described primary studies on conductivity and molecular weight of polyaniline separately in the electric and magnetic fields when it is used in a field effect experimental configuration. We report further studies on doped in-situ deposited polyaniline. First we have chemically synthesized polyaniline by ammonium peroxodisulfate in acidic aques and organic solutions at different times. Then we measured mass and conductivity and obtained the best time of polymerizations. In continue, we repeated these reactions separately under different electric and magnetic fields in constant time and measured mass and conductivity. The polyaniline is characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), UV-Visible spectroscopy and electrical conductivity. High molecular weight polyanilines are synthesized under electric field, $M_w$ = 520000-680000 g/mol, with $M_w/M_n$ = 2-2.5. The UV-Visible spectra of polyanilines oxidized by ammonium peroxodisulfate and protonated with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (PANi-DBSA), in N-methylpyrolidone (NMP), show a smeared polaron peak shifted into the visible. Electrical conductivity of polyanilines has been studied by four-probe method. The conductivity of the films of emeraldine protonated by DBSA cast from NMP are higher than 500 and 25 S/cm under 10 KV/m of potential) electric field and 0.1 T magnetic field, respectively. It shows an enhanced resistance to ageing too. By the next steps, we carried chemical polymerization at the best electric and magnetic fields at different times. Finally, resulted in finding the best time and amount of the fields. The longer polymerization time and the higher magnetic field can lead to degradation of polyaniline films and decrease conductivity and molecular mass.
