Phys. Rev. B 71, 212102 (2005) [4 pages]Electronic properties of structural twin and antiphase boundaries in materials with strong electron-lattice couplingsReceived 2 August 2004; revised 31 January 2005; published 10 June 2005 Using a symmetry-based atomic scale theory of lattice distortions, we demonstrate that elastic textures, such as twin and antiphase boundaries, can generate intricate electronic heterogeneities in materials with strong electron-lattice coupling, as observed in perovskite manganites and other functional electronic materials. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
