The micro-bridge with different widths was fabricated by using electron beam lithography (EBL) technique and their transport properties were studied. For the micro-bridges with width of 2 and 1.5 μm,the insulator-to-metal transition temperature (TP) keeps un-changed compared with the film. For the micro-bridges with width of 1 μm,the TP shifts towards the lower temperature by 50 K. When the width decreases down to 500 nm,the insulator-to-metal transition disappears. The magnetoresistance be-havior of these micro-bridges was studied,and the results show that the low field magnetoresistance (LFMR) decreases and the high field magnetoresistances (HFMR) keep almost unchanged as the width of micro-bridge is reduced.展开更多
