With the decrease of the average ions radius 〈rA〉, the structure of Ln2/3Pb1/3MnO3 (Ln=La, Pr, Nd) targets transit from the rhombohedral phase to the orthorhombic phase, and the Curie temperature reduces rapidly with the decrease of 〈rA〉. The electrical properties show that films are the metallic state which can be fitted to the formula: ρ(T)=ρ0 + ρ1T^2 + ρ2T^4.5 at low temperatures. The temperature range of the ferromagnetic metallic state becomes narrow with the decrease of 〈rA〉. The phenomenon can be explained by the lattice effect.展开更多
