A. Nossov et al., THE EFFECT OF ANNEALING ON THE MAGNETORESISTANCE OF POLYCRYSTALLINE (LA-Y-CA)MNO3 PEROVSKITES, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 8(44), 1996, pp. 8513-8524
The magnetization, resistivity and magnetoresistance of yttrium-doped
polycrystalline La0.6Y0.7Ca0.33MnO3 have been studied as a function of
annealing conditions. The magnetoresistance amplitude depends upon th
e annealing time, with an optimum corresponding to 12 h annealing at 1
200 degrees C under oxygen. Different contributions to the magnetoresi
stance are separated; the first is related to the technical magnetizat
ion, the second, dominant one, to the influence of the total magnetic
induction on the band splitting and the spin correlation function.
