17. The doping level is determined by the charge neutrality: because the substituted Al is trivalent, the doping level is not changed unless the proportion of (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) is changed. Therefore, the number of the holes per unit volume is not changed by Al substitution, or even the number of the holes per Mn atom is little changed by small amount (Formula presented) of the substituted Al.
18. One should not confuse the HIM phase here and the metallic (Formula presented) state above (Formula presented) for (Formula presented) In the present case, we argue the conduction in the ferromagnetic-metallic phase below (Formula presented)

21. In a recent optical absorption study, the LCM phase is observed for (Formula presented) [M. Quijada, J. Černe, J. R. Simpson, H. D. Drew, K. H. Ahn, A. J. Millis, R. Shreekala, R. Ramesh, M. Rajeswari, and T. Venkatesan, Phys. Rev. B 58, 16 093 (1998)].The resistivity of this film is smaller than that of the early study by the same group (Ref. 18), suggesting that amount of static imperfections is essential for absence or presence of the LCM phase.
