The spin-dependent interfacial tunneling and the corresponding tunnel-type
magnetoresistance (TMR) have been observed in granular perovskite La1-xSrxM
nO3 with x from 0.05 to 0.45. Study shows that the interfacial tunneling or
iginates from the magnetic difference between the grain core and the surfac
e, and the TMR stems from the field-induced change of magnetic order in the
interface.
