From the magnetic phase diagrams established for Ln1−xAExMnO3 manganites with x>0.5, it is shown that the magnetoresistance is only obtained for compositions of smallest average Asite cations <rA>. The magnetic structure study reveals that the small <rA> favors the coexistence of ferromagnetism with G-type antiferromagnetism. It is also shown that ferromagnetism can be induced in the Ln2−xAExMnO4 type electron doped manganites by using compositions with small Ln and AE cations and x values close to 1.90. Finally, manganse site doping by Cr, Co, Ni can be used to weaken the charge-ordering of the Mn4+ rich perovskite manganites (0.5<x≤0.8) and thus to induce CMR properties.
