36. In the Mn3d and Ni3d PES spectra for both x=0 and x=0.2, no clear metallic Fermi edges have been observed.
37. This finding is consistent with resistance measurements, which show at room temperature significantly lower resistance (□2kΩ) for La1.8 Sr0.2 MnNiO6 compared to □300kΩ for La2 MnNiO6 [S. Kolesnik and B. Dabrowski (unpublished)].
