The experimental results indicate that the transport properties exhibit abnormal behavior under high doping condition. For x = 0.50, we find that a transition from metal to insulator occurs after the occurrence of insulator-metal transition near Tc, which seldom occurs in ABO3 structure. For samples x = 0.60 and 0.70, it exhibits insulator behavior far above Tc. These abnormal behaviors are attributed to different magnetic background, i.e. the system undergoes a transition from long range ferromagnetic order to the cluster-spin glass state and further to antiferromagnetic order.展开更多
