Gc. Bhar et al., MAGNETORESISTANCE EFFECT IN BULK SAMPLES OF LA0.67CA0.33MNO3 UNDER A LOW MAGNETIC-FIELD, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 188(1-2), 1998, pp. 180-184
The magnetoresistance effect of bulk samples of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3, prep
ared by the sol-gel method has been studied under a low applied magnet
ic field. Quite a large (-37%) negative magnetoresistance ratio (MR) h
as been obtained at a relatively 'higher' temperature (190 K) with an
applied external magnetic field intensity as low as 0.6 T. Observation
of the MR peak at a temperature greater than the insulator-metal tran
sition temperature has been made for the first time. (C) 1998 Elsevier
