Enhancement of magnetoresistance in cobaltites by manganese substitution: the oxide La0.8Sr0.2Co1-xMnxO3

Description

The substitution of manganese for cobalt in the perovskite La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 has been studied. A significant increase of the magnetoresistance (MR) is obtained, MR=-100(ρH-ρ0)/ρ0 reaching 60% at 5 K under 7 T for x≅0.10. This behavior originates from a spectacular increase of the resistivity correlated to a significant decrease of ferromagnetism by Mn doping. This enhancement of magnetoresistance can be interpreted by the growth of ferromagnetic clusters in the insulating matrix, by applying a magnetic field. (orig.)
