摘要
We report the observation of large low-field magnetoresistance (MR) behavior in CaCu3Mn4O12 with a perovskite-related (AA'3B4O12) structure. Ca2+Cu32+Mn44+O12 is semiconducting and orders ferromagnetically at 355 K. However, it has neither mixed valency of Mn for double-exchange magnetic interactions, nor Jahn-Teller Mn3+ ions, nor a metal-insulator transition. The MR smoothly increases with decreasing temperature and is -40% at 20 K. The low-field MR response does not show the strong temperature-dependent decay characteristic of the LnMnO(3) perovskite-based systems and appears consistent with,an intergrain-interdomain tunneling origin.
