Abstract: We indicated synthesization of LCMO by hydrothermal reaction. The results of transmission electron microscopy revealed that the LCMO particles had wide range in size and various in shapes. The LCMO particles had a perovskite-type crystal structure with some other phases. Magnetic property was measured by physical property measurement system. Their crystallinity and magnetization tended to increased with increasing reaction time.

Abstract: It is shown that in colossal magnetoresistance materials an inhomogeneous alternating magnetic field generates a strong electric field of non-inductive nature. This magnetoelectric effect is an analog of acoustoelectric effect in conventional semiconductors. Due to the above electric field spin waves in the former materials, like acoustic waves in the latter ones, acquire an additional attenuation at equilibrium. This attenuation may be converted to amplification by applying strong enough dc electric field drifting the carriers (solid-state Cherenkov’s effect). The experiments, which probed this phenomenon in HgCr2Se4 using spin wave pumping, are discussed.

Abstract: The significant influences of substituting low concentration Dy at La- site for La0.667Sr0.333MnO3 perovskites compounds in structural, electrical and magnetoresistance properties have been studied. The polycrystalline samples (La1-xDyx)0.667Sr0.333MnO3 with x= 0.00, 0.02 and 0.10 were synthesized via conventional solid-state reaction in bulk. This work measured their resistivity properties with (below 1 Tesla) and without the presence of magnetic field (0 Tesla) as a function of temperature, microstructure and particle distribution and structural distortion using four point probe resistivity technique, X- ray diffractometer (XRD) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The resistivity in applied magnetic field or so-called magnetoresistance ratio is defined as MR% = (Ro – RH)/RH x 100 was measured at 90K, 100K, 150K, 200K, 250K, 270K and 300K. The highest MR% values for x=0.00, 0.02 and 0.10 are 15.3%, 15.5% and 20.6% at 1 Tesla respectively. The metal- insulator transition temperature, TMIT correspond to >300K, 298K and 230K of sample with x= 0.00, 0.02 and 0.10 respectively were observed from resistivitytemperature (R-T) curve.

Abstract: Polycrystalline samples of La0.67Ba0.33(Mn1-xRux)O3 with x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 have been prepared using solid state reaction. The effects of doping of Ru at Mn site on La-Ba-Mn- O ceramics, the characteristics and magnetotransport properties of CMR materials are investigated. The magnetoresistance (MR) effect is measured using the four point probe technique. The magnetoresistance defined as MR% = (Ro – RH)/RH x 100% was measured at a magnetic field of H ≤ 1T at 90K, 100K, 150K, 200K, 250K, 270K and 300K for the sample of doping x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2. Overall, MR drops slowly when temperature rises. All doping concentration gives small variation range (~2.7% to ~26.78%). The electrical property has determined by using standard four-point probe resistivity measurement in a temperature range of 30 K to 300 K. Metalinsulator transition temperature (Tp) shifted to lower temperatures as Ru doping is increased. In this paper the structural pattern and microstructure property have investigated via XRD. XRD patterns show that these systems are in orthorhombic distorted perovskite structures.

Abstract: Transport properties of YBa2Cu4O8 (YBCO)/La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) multilayers were studied. The metal-semiconductor transition temperature shows an oscillatory behavior with a period ~ 12 nm. In contrast to that for LCMO films, the magnetoresistance ratio for multilayers is enhanced and strongly depends on the thickness of the YBCO layer. These results imply that the magnetic spin interaction between the LCMO layers may exist through the normal-conductive YBCO layer.
