摘要: We have studied the transport property of the composites (La0.83Sr0.17 MnO3)1-x(ITO)x [ITO=(In2O3)0.95 (SnO2)0.05], which were fabricated by mechanically mixing La0.83Sr0.17 MnO3 and ITO grains. A giant positive magnetoresistance (PMR) has been observed above the Curie temperature Tc for samples with x around 0.40, in addition to the negative magnetoresistance related to spin-dependent interfacial tunnelling below Tc. For (La0.83Sr0.17MnO3)0.6(ITO)0.4, the magnetoresistive ratio for the PMR can reach 39.3% under a magnetic field H=2.24\tm105A/m. Theoretical analysis suggests that the magnetic-field-induced broadening of the p--n barrier between both kinds of grains and the density of the p--n heterostructures should be responsible for the PMR behaviour.
