摘要:
We report the temperature and magnetic field dependence of transport properties in epitaxial films of the manganite La 1 x Ca x MnO 3 in the overdoped region of the phase diagram for x > 0.5, where a charge–ordered (CO) and an antiferromagnetic (AF) phase are present. Resistivity, magnetoresistance and angular dependence of magnetoresistance were measured in the temperature interval 4.2K 3 T for x =0.52 and the presence of anisotropy in magnetoresistance for x =0.52 and x =0.58 show the fingerprints of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) behavior implying the existence of ferromagnetic (FM) clusters. The declining influence of the FM clusters in the CO/AF part of the phase diagram with increasing x contributes to a possible explanation that a phase coexistence is the origin of the CMR phenomenon.
