摘要
Nanocrystalline, granular samples of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) were synthesized by reactive milling method and annealed at various temperatures. Effect of grain size on the low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR) has been investigated. Based upon a phenomenological model taking into account the spin-polarized transport across grain boundaries, we explained magnetic field dependence of magnetoresistance in LCMO samples. The contribution to the magnetoresistance coming from spin-polarized tunneling was separated out from the intergranular contribution. The fitted results showed that the temperature dependence of the LFMR displays a Curie-Weiss law-like behavior. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
