Randomness Effect on Multicritical Phenomena in Double-Exchange Systems

Double-exchange model interacting with adiabatic phonons is studied in the presence of randomness by using the Monte-Carlo method and the systematic size-scaling analysis. A bicritical behavior is found between the ferromagnetic metal and the charge-ordered insulator. We find the distinct response to the randomness between these two states, which agrees well with the experimental results in the colossal magnetoresistance manganites.
