Giant negative magnetoresistance in Manganese-substituted Zinc Oxide
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a large negative magnetoresistance in Manganese-substituted Zinc Oxide thin films. This anomalous effect was found to appear in oxygen-deficient films and to increase with the concentration of Manganese. By combining magnetoresistive measurements with magneto-photoluminescence, we demonstrate that the effect can be explained as the result of a magnetically induced transition from hopping to band conduction where the activation energy is caused by the sp-d exchange interaction.

An investigation on layered birnessite type manganese oxides for battery applications
Layered birnessite-type manganese oxide was prepared by a simple redox sol–gel reaction involving hydroxylamine and permanganate in alkaline medium. IR, XRD, Auger electron spectroscopy, EPR, TGA and cyclic voltammetric characteristics of the birnessites are presented. The birnessite was examined for its cathode performance in zinc-, magnesiumand lithium-based cells. Bismuth and lead exchanged ...

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...

The Kondo lattice model with Hund’s ferromagnetic spin coupling is investigated as a microscopic model of the perovskite-type 3d manganese oxide R1−xAxMnO3 where R and A are rare earth element and alkaline earth element, respectively. We take the classical spin limit S = ∞ for the simplicity of the calculation, since the quantum exchange process seems to be irrelevant in the high temperature pa...
