Effect of Sintering on the Magnetism and Magnetoresistance of La1/3Nd1/3Ca1/3 MnO3
Effect of Sintering on the Magnetism and Magnetoresistance of La_(1/3)Nd_(1/3)Ca_(1/3) MnO_3

Perovskite-like bulk La1/3Nd1/3Ca1/3MnO3 is prepared by solid phase reaction method. The temperature dependence of the magnetization and the relationship between CMR effect and sintering have been studied. The CMR is up to 673.9% under 1 T applied magnetic field and 100 K temperature, and that also reaches 93.5% in 0.2 T and 100 K.
