Unusual thermoelectric power of single-crystal La{1.2}Sr{sub 1.8}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 7}.
Anisotropic resistivity and thermoelectric power of a single crystal of the mixed-valent, bilayered perovskite La{sub 1.2}Sr{sub 1.8}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 7} have been measured under hydrostatic pressure P < {approx}14 kbar. The transport properties measured parallel to an a-b plane can be interpreted with a model of two-manganese Zener polarons, that, on cooling to T{sub C}, progressively condense out into clusters, but are released to form a polaron liquid below a T{sub 0} < {approx} T{sub C}. Conduction along the c axis can be described by conventional small-polaron transport that is unaltered by clustering in the basal planes.
