Abstract: | The electrical and magnetoresistant properties of La0.67(Ca0.65Ba0.35)0.33MnO3/Agx (abbreviated by LCBMO/Agx) have been studied. The results show that Ag addition causes a decrease of resistivity dramatically and especially induces a large enhancement of room temperature magnetoresistance (MR). The room temperature MR ratio for x=0.27 sample in 10 kOe magnetic field is 41%, almost 20 times larger than that for x=0 sample. This enhancement is related to that the Curie temperature (Tc) of the sample is near room temperature, as well as the significant reduction of resistivity. The good fits of experimental results for x=0.27 sample to Brillouin function indicate that the MR behavior in the Ag added LCBMO is induced by the spin-dependent hopping of the electrons between the spin clusters, which is an intrinsic property of the CMR materials. |
