【 摘 要 】
A general consideration is presented for the magnetic interaction at an interface between a perovskite manganite and other transition metal oxides. The latter is specified by the electron number n in the d(3z2-r2) level as (d(3z2-r2))(n). Based on the molecular orbitals formed at the interface and the generalized Hund's rule, the sign of the magnetic interaction is rather uniquely determined. The exception is when the d(3z2-r2) orbital is stabilized in the interfacial manganite layer neighboring to a (d(3z2-r2))(1) or (d(3z2-r2))(2) system. In this case, the magnetic interaction is sensitive to the occupancy of the Mn d(3z2-r2) orbital. It is also shown that the magnetic interaction between the interfacial Mn layer and the bulk region can be changed. Manganite-based heterostructures thus show a rich magnetic behavior. We also present how to generalize the argument including t(2g) orbitals.
