The evolution of Griffiths-phase-like features and colossal magnetoresistance in La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(3) (0.18 ≤ x ≤ 0.27) across the compositional metal-insulator boundary.

Detailed measurements of the magnetic and transport properties of single crystals of La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(3) (0.18 ≤ x ≤ 0.27) are summarized, and lead to the following conclusions.
