Perovskite-like bulk La1/3Nd1/3Ca1/3MnO3 is prepared by solid phase reactio
n method. The temperature dependence of the magnetization and the relations
hip between CMR effect and sintering have been studied. The CMR is up to 67
3.9% under 1 T applied magnetic field and 100 K temperature, and that also
reaches 93.5% in 0.2 T and 100 K.
