Abstract

The effect of a constant magnetic field up to 6000 Oe on transient current after application of a pulsed voltage of U = 5 V with a duration of 100 μs is studied for composites based on polyaniline, manganese acetylacetonate, barium oxide hexahydrate, gadolinium chloride, and elemental sulfur. Initial powders are mixed in a ball mill. The giant magnetoresistance with a magnitude of 40–60% is discovered. It manifests itself as a difference in transient-current curves in the absence of the magnetic field and in its presence. This effect is explained by spin-dependent transport, in which at least two charge assemblies are involved: namely, electron assemblies and proton assemblies.
