Combined effect of bond and potential disorder in half-doped manganites

We analyze the effects of both bond and potential disorder in the vicinity of a first-order metal insulator transition in a two-band model for manganites using a real-space Monte Carlo method. Our results reveal a novel charge-ordered state coexisting with spin-glass behavior. We provide the basis for understanding the phase diagrams of half-doped manganites, and contrast the effects of bond and potential disorder and the combination of both.
