چکیده

We report magnetotransport investigation of nonmagnetic InSb single crystal doped with manganese at Mn concentration NMn ~ 1,5 × 10(17) cm(-3) in the temperature range T = 300 K-40 mK, magnetic field B = 0-25T and hydrostatic pressure P = 0-17 kbar. Resistivity saturation was observed in the absence of magnetic field at temperatures below 200 mK while applied increasing external magnetic field induced colossal drop of resistivity (by factor 10(4)) at B ~ 4T with further gigantic resistivity increase (by factor 10(4)) at 15T. Under pressure, P = 17 kbar, resistivity saturation temperature increased up to 1,2 K. Existing models are discussed in attempt to explain resistivity saturation, dramatic influence of magnetic field and pressure on resistivity with the focus on possible manifestation of three dimensional Wigner crystal formed in InSb by light electrons and heavy holes.

Magnetic properties and colossal magnetoresistance of La(Ca)MnO3 materials doped with Fe.

The effect of Fe doping ~,20%! on the Mn site in the ferromagnetic ~x50.37! and the antiferromagnetic ~x50.53! phases of La12xCaxMnO3 has been studied. The same ionic radii of Fe 31 and Mn cause no structure change in either series, yet conduction and ferromagnetism have been consistently suppressed by Fe doping. Colossal magnetoresistance has been shifted to lower temperatures, and in some cas...

In this letter, the electrical and magnetic properties of La 1-x Te x MnO 3 (x=0.1, 0.15), which is a new material and shows good colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) behavior, have been investigated. These compounds have rhombohedral structure. In this materical, Te replaced a part of La ions, which induced the lattice cell constriction and Mn-O-Mn bond angle widening.

Colossal magnetoresistance

We review recent experimental work falling under the broad classification of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), which is magnetoresistance associated with a ferromagnetic-toparamagnetic phase transition. The prototypical CMR compound is derived from the parent compound, perovskite LaMnO3. When hole doped at a concentration of 20–40% holes/Mn ion, for instance by Ca or Sr substitution for La, the...
