Comment on “Spin Dependent Hopping and Colossal Negative Magnetoresistance in EpitaxialNd0.52Sr0.48MnO3Films in Fields up to 50 T”

Colossal magnetocapacitance and colossal magnetoresistance in HgCr2S4.

We present a detailed study of the dielectric and charge transport properties of the antiferromagnetic cubic spinel HgCr2S4. Similar to the findings in ferromagnetic CdCr2S4, the dielectric constant of HgCr2S4 becomes strongly enhanced in the region below 60-80 K, which can be ascribed to polar relaxational dynamics triggered by the onset of ferromagnetic correlations. In addition, the observat...

Spin-dependent Seebeck Effect, Thermal Colossal Magnetoresistance and Negative Differential Thermoelectric Resistance in Zigzag Silicene Nanoribbon Heterojunciton

Spin-dependent Seebeck effect (SDSE) is one of hot topics in spin caloritronics, which examine the relationships between spin and heat transport in materials. Meanwhile, it is still a huge challenge to obtain thermally induced spin current nearly without thermal electron current. Here, we construct a hydrogen-terminated zigzag silicene nanoribbon heterojunction, and find that by applying a temp...

Colossal magnetoresistance

We review recent experimental work falling under the broad classification of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), which is magnetoresistance associated with a ferromagnetic-toparamagnetic phase transition. The prototypical CMR compound is derived from the parent compound, perovskite LaMnO3. When hole doped at a concentration of 20–40% holes/Mn ion, for instance by Ca or Sr substitution for La, the...

Colossal Magnetoresistance

Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effect was discovered among the manganese oxide class of materials, i.e. La1−xCaxMnO3. It shows large magnetoresistance by orders of magnitude, however several environmental requirements limit CMR toward general applications. Recently people have been focused on understanding a fundamental physics because of complex correlations between electron-lattice and elec...
