Abstract

Epitaxial La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 thin films were prepared on NdGaO3(1lO) substrates by d.c. magnetron sputtering method. The measurements of magnetoresistance ρ(H) upon magnetic field at different temperatures were carried out in the field range of 0–8 T. It is found that ρ(H) obeys the following relations: when the temperature (T) is higher than the Curie temperature\(T_C , \rho (H) = \frac{1}{{\alpha (T) + \beta (T)H^2 }}\) below\(T_C , \rho (H) = \rho _0 (T) + \frac{1}{{A(T) + B(T)exp(H/C(T))}}\) and\(\rho (H) = \frac{1}{{\sigma (T) + \gamma (T)H}}\) whenT is far WowT c. It is suS8ested that the negative magnetoresistive effect is mainly due to enhancement of the magnetoconductance.
