Magnetoresistance of sintered (Fe2O3)100-x(Fe3O4)x ferrites

Description

Magnetoresistance (MR) of the sintered (Fe2O3)100-x(Fe3O4)x ferrite with x=15-97 at% were investigated. The MR value was increased from 2.5% for x=15 to 4.8% for x=97 at room temperature with maximum applied field of 8.8 kOe. The plot of log ρ versus T-1/2 of all sintered samples exhibited a linear relationship, indicating that the dominant MR effect was spin-dependent tunneling between the Fe3O4 phase through α-Fe2O3 barrier. The percolation threshold for the conduction paths in this system is in the vicinity of x=40 at%
