摘要
La0.7Ca0.3MnO3：xZn0.95Co0.05O （x=0.0,0.05, 0.1, 0.15mol） composites are prepared by a sol-gel process. X- ray diffraction and energy diffraction spectroscopy reveal that there is no evidence of a reaction between the La0.7 Ca0.3 MnO3 （LCMO） and Zn0.95Co0.05 O （ZCO）. Magnetization M, Curie temperature Tc and metal-insulator transition temperatures Tp are observed to decrease with increasing ZCO content. Compared with x = 0.0, a great enhancement in the magnetoresistance （MR） is observed at around Tc for x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15. Based on the tunneling MR and percolation models, this great change of MR is well explained.
