spectroscopy and O K edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy we have studied the temperature dependence of the near Fermi level electronic structure in the electron doped CMR, Ca 0.86 Pr 0.14 MnO 3 . We found that the temperature dependent changes in the electronic structure is consistent with the conductivity behavior of the electron doped systems in general. As the temperature is lowered from 293 K a feature due to the e g states starts appearing near the E F . This increase in the DOS is a signature of the semi-metallic behavior of the sample in the range 110 - 300 K. Surprisingly, though the resistivity measurement on this sample showed an insulating behavior below its transition temperature T c (110 K), the intensity of this feature further increases below the T c . Further, we have found an increase in the e g band width (W) also at low temperatures. It was also interesting to note that the increase in the near E F DOS in this compound is apparently different in nature from that associated with the pseudogap formation in the other systems like Pr 1−x Sr x MnO 3 . We have discussed our results from the point of view of phase sepation models considering the temperature dependent structural changes and consequent localization of the electrons in a narrow e g band. xii
