Summary and Conclusions 110<br />

Using high resolution photoelectron spectroscopy and O K edge x-ray absorption<br />

spectroscopy we have studied the temperature dependence of the near Fermi level<br />

electronic structure in the electron doped CMR, Ca 0.86 Pr 0.14 MnO 3 . We found that<br />

the temperature dependent changes in the electronic structure is consistent with the<br />

conductivity behavior of the electron doped systems in general. As the temperature<br />

is lowered from 293 K a feature due to the e g↑ states starts appearing near the E F .<br />

The intensity of this feature further increases below the T c with a shift of spectral<br />

weight from higher binding energy to the near E F states. Further, we have found an<br />

increase in the e g↑ band width (W) also at low temperatures. On the other hand,<br />

a complementary shifts of states from the near E F to higher energy positions were<br />

observed with decrease of temperature in the unoccupied states presented in the preedge<br />

region of O K edge x-ray absorption spectra. We have discussed our results from<br />

the point of view of phase separation models considering the temperature dependent<br />

structural changes and consequent localization of the electrons in a narrow e g band.
