摘要：

The magnetotransport properties of Pb(Pd,Co)O-2 and PbPdO2 thin films were investigated. In magnetoconductance curves, we observed a crossover between weak anti-localization (WAL) and weak localization (WL) depending on the annealing and Co doping in PbPdO2 thin films. For the Pb(Pd,Co)O-2 case showing WAL signals, the ex-situ annealing weakens the Pd-O hybridization by stabilizing Co3+ states and generating Pd1+ states, instead of Pd2+, so that the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength is significantly reduced. It causes the dominant magnetotransport mechanism change from WAL to WL. This annealing effect is compared with the PbPdO2 case, which possesses WL signals. The annealing process stabilizes the oxygen states and enhances the Pd-O hybridization, and consequently the SOC strength is enhanced. Our experimental results are well explained by the Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka theory in terms of two important physical parameters; SOC strength-related alpha and inelastic scattering length l(phi).
