The dc resistivity and thermoelectric power of bilayered perovskite La1.4(Sr0.2Ca1.4)Mn2O7 weremeasured as a function of the temperature. In the ferromagnetic phase, ρ(T) was accurately predicted by a0+a2T2+a4.5T4.5 with and without an applied field. At high temperatures, a significant difference between theactivation energy deduced from the electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power, a characteristic of smallpolarons, was observed. All of the experimental data can be feasibly explained on the basis of the small polaron.
