摘要
The temperature T and magnetic field H dependence of the resistivity rho has been measured for La0.8-ySr0.2MnO3 (y=0 and 0.128) films grown on (100) SrTiO3 substrates. The low-temperature rho in the ferromagnetic metallic region follows well rho(H,T)=rho(0)(H)+A(H)omega(s)/sinh(homega(s)/2k(B)T)+B(H)T-7/2 with rho(0) being the residual resistivity. We attribute the second and third term to small-polaron and spin-wave scattering, respectively. Our analysis based on these scattering mechanisms also gives the observed difference between the metal-insulator transition temperatures of the films studied. Transport measurements in applied magnetic field further indicate that spin-wave scattering is a key transport mechanism at low temperatures.
