چکیده

Equilibrium conductivity fluctuations of mesoscopic domains are found in film and bulk single-crystal manganite colossal magnetoresistive material. Temperature and field dependences of the Boltzmann factors for a collection of two-state fluctuators give measures of the magnetic moment and entropy differences between the states, and of the fluctuator volumes. The large resistance step size implies dramatic current inhomogeneities. Occasional anomalous temperature dependences indicate that the film inhomogeneous phase is stabilized by a repulsive interaction between conducting regions.

Efficient synthesis and electronic studies of core-shell nanowires based on colossal magnetoresistive manganites.

We report our recent study on the pulsed laser deposition process in the synthesis of colossal magnetoresistive MgO/LaCaMnO3 and MgO/LaSrMnO3 core-shell nanowires. A highly efficient process has been developed by depositing an epitaxial layer of manganite onto randomly oriented MgO nanowires grown on SiO2/Si substrates. In addition, in-depth studies revealed that the sample-target distance play...

A Surface Insulator-to-Conductor Phase Transition in Colossal Magnetoresistive Manganese Perovskites Thin Films

We have observed a distinct surface phase transition for an important class of colossal magnetoresistive materials, La0.65D0.35MnO3 (with D = Sr, Pb) occurring in a surface layer compositionally different from the bulk. The surface phase transition occurs around 240 K compared to 350 K for the bulk and is fundamentally different. In the bulk, a ferromagnetic metal to paramagnetic ‘bad metal’ oc...

Mössbauer Effect Probe of Local Jahn-Teller distortion in Fe-doped Colossal Magnetoresistive Manganites

Local structure of the Fe-doped La1−xCaxMnO3 (x=0.00-1.00) compounds has been investigated by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy. 57Fe Mössbauer spectra provide a direct evidence of Jahn-Teller distortion in these manganites. On the basis of Mössbauer results, the Jahn-Teller coupling was estimated. It is noteworthy that Ca-concentration dependence of Jahn-Teller coupling strength is very consiste...

Measurement of dielectric properties at low temperatures: application to the study of magnetoresistive manganite/ insulating oxide bulk composites

In this paper, we report low temperature dielectric measurements of bulk composite electroceramic samples containing a colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) manganite phase (La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 [abbreviated LCMO]) and an insulating phase (Mn3O4). Details of the experimental system are given and possible experimental artefacts due to moisture are outlined. For a LCMO volume fraction of ~ 16%, the permittiv...

Direct observation of high-temperature polaronic behavior in colossal magnetoresistive manganites.

The temperature dependence of the electronic and atomic structure of the colossal magnetoresistive oxides La1-xSrxMnO3 (x=0.3, 0.4) has been studied using core and valence level photoemission, x-ray absorption and emission, and extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. A dramatic and reversible change of the electronic structure is observed on crossing the Curie temperature, includ...
