Correlation between extrinsic electroresistance and magnetoresistance in fine-grained La0.7Ca0.3MnO3

We report our observation of a correlation between the extrinsic electroresistance (EER) and magnetoresistance (EMR) via grain size in fine-grained La0.7Ca0.3MnO3. The nature of dependence of EER and EMR on grain size (~0.2-1.0 micron) indicates that for finer grains with low-resistive boundaries both of them follow similar trend whereas they differ for coarser grains with high-resistive boundaries. This could be due to a crossover in the mechanism of charge transport across the grain boundaries - from spin-depedent scattering process to spin-polarized tunneling one - as a function of grain size.

Anomalous Magnetic and Thermal Behavior in Some RMn2O5 Oxides

The RMn2O5 (R=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Eu) oxides showing magnetoelectric (ME) behavior have been prepared in polycrystalline form by a standard citrate route. The lattice parameters, obtained from the powder XRD analysis, follow the rare-earth contraction indicating the trivalent character of the R ions. Cusp-like anomalies in the magnetic susceptibility curve and sharp peaks in the specific heat were reported at the corresponding temperatures in RMn2O5 (R=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Eu) indicating the magnetic or electric ordering transitions.
