Abstract
The gigantic reduction of the electric resistivity under the applied magnet ic field, CMR (colossal magneto-resistance) effect, is now widely accepted to appear in the vicinity of the insulator to metal transition of the perov skite manganites. Recently, we have discovered the first order transition f rom ferromagnetic metal to insulator in La0.88Sr0.12MnO3 of the CMR mangani te. This phase transition induces the tremendous increase of the resistivit y under the external magnetic field just near above the phase transition te mperature. We report fairly detailed results from the systematic experiment s including neutron and synchrotron X-ray scattering studies. (C) 1999 Else vier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
