52. In our discussion we will assume that small or large polarons, as well as lattice or magnetic polarons are charge carriers according to the definitions in reference [38]. At the present time in some scientific papers the term "large polaron" is sometimes used as a name for ferromagnetic droplets or clusters resulting from phase-separation or inhomogeneity effects in the doped manganites.
