Intergranular magnetotransport effects are studied on polycrystalline manga
nites. Reducing grain size through sol-gel technology allows us to show new
results on these materials. Intrinsic colossal magnetoresistance is destro
yed in metal-insulator phase transition for grain size smaller than 150 nm.
In low temperature region, that is, T<30K, semiconductor resistivity behav
ior indicates Coulomb blockade between grains.
