Abstract

The study of the magnetic properties of mixed valence manganese perovskites dates back almost 50 years [1–2]. The existence of competitive ferromagnetic (FM) double-exchange [3] and antiferromagnetic (AF) superexchange interactions, which are very sensitive to the structural parameters and the degree of doping, results in a very rich magnetic phase diagram for this type of materials [4]. In the case La1-xCaxMnO3 of special interest are samples with x~l/3 which show a transition from a low-temperature metallic FM phase to a high temperature semiconducting paramagnetic phase, associated with a very large negative magnetoresistance (MR) effect termed colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). A large number of studies has focused on the interrelated structural, magnetic and MR properties of this type of materials [5–18] as well as the physics of the transition [19–27] in the effort to understand the CMR mechanism and to optimize the materials. However the possibility to use of these materials in technological applications is limited by the large fields (of the order of Tesla) required for saturation. In order to deal with this problem different approaches have been tried [28–31].
