Lattice polarons form an important constituent in the mechanism of magnetism and transport of the (La/Sr){sub n+1}Mn{sub n}O{sub 3n+1} (for n = 2 and {infinity}) colossal magnetoresistance manganites. The coupling of the polaronic distortions to the local Jahn-Teller (JT) effect has been characterized by the pulsed neutron pair density function (PDF) analysis. Distortions of equal magnitude to the ones found in perovskites arising from a JT effect are found in the 2-dimensional layer crystals. The coupling of the distortions to the lattice is similar in both systems suggesting that lattice polarons are formed independently to the crystal dimensionality
