In the recent years, renewed interest in the studies on manganite ceramics and their thin films has been accelerated due to the
various potential applications of these materials in bolometers, magnetic field sensors and computer read heads. The discovery
of CMR in manganites and its relation to various structural and electronic transport properties rejuvenated research interest in
mixed oxide compounds. Since manganites appear promising candidates, both from basic research and applications point of
view, a major fraction of materials scientists have contributed to the better understanding of these materials. This article is
devoted to the understanding of various physical properties of complex manganite systems and some efforts to evaluate the
application potentiality of these compounds.
