Conclusion
1. Unlike La1-xSrxMnO3 family, in the x>xc La1-xBaxMnO3 single crystals electrons – not holes - are majority carriers. Thus the band structure depends on not only doping level but also on type of divalent ion.
2. The temperature-induced metal-semiconductor transition, if any, occurs well below TC.
3. Near Curie temperature, where CMR effect is observed, all the crystals are in a semiconductor state. Above TC, the crystals are likely to be in the semiconductor state, too. The sign of d/dT is not a sufficient indication of metallic state.
4. The conductivity mechanisms in the manganites with different doping is different. A general formal reason for the CMR effect in the La-Sr and La-Ba single crystals consists in the change of activation energy under application of a magnetic field.
