摘要
We have studied the transport property of the composites (La0.83Sr0.17 MnO3)1-x(ITO)x [ITO=(In2O3)0.95 (SNO2)0.05], which were fabricated by mechanically mixing La0.83Sr0.17MnO3 and ITO grains. A giant positive magnetoresistance (PMR) has been observed above the Curie temperature Tc for samples with x around 0.40, in addition to the negative magnetoresistanee related to spin-dependent interracial tunnelling below To. For (La0.83Sr0.17MnO3)0.6(ITO)0.4, the magnetoresistive ratio for the PMR can reach 39.3% under a magnetic field H=2.24×10^5A/m. Theoretical analysis suggests that the magnetic-field-induced broadening of the p-n barrier between both kinds of grains and the density of the p-n heterostructures should be responsible for the PMR behaviour.
