Si. Khartsev et al., GIANT MAGNETORESISTANCE OF LA0.5PB0.2CA0.2Y0.1MNO3-DELTA FILMS OBTAINED BY MAGNETRON SPUTTERING, Low temperature physics, 23(8), 1997, pp. 631-634
Magnetoresistive properties of thin La0.5Pb0.2Ca0.1MnO3-delta films ob
tained by magnetron sputtering technique are studied. A giant decrease
in resistance (up to 98%) in magnetic fields H = 10 T is observed at
a temperature of 175 K. The physical factors responsible for the effec
t of composition and preparation technique on their magnetotransport p
roperties are discussed. The mechanisms and empirical relations descri
bing the temperature and field dependences of the resistive properties
of films are also discussed. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
