Abstract
In this report, we have claimed the new application of resistive switching phenomena, as a probe for the tracing of the secondary phase in the La\(_{0.7}\)Sr\(_{0.3}\)MnO\(_3\) (LSMO)–La\(_{2}\)O\(_{3}\) composite samples. The XRD pattern of the LSMO–La\(_{2}\)O\(_{3}\) composites is not able to detect the presence of La\(_{2}\)O\(_{3}\) for x = 0.005 and 0.010 sample. The I–V characteristics of the x = 0.005 and 0.010 sample exhibit the bipolar resistive switching behavior and a further increase in the concentration of La\(_{2}\)O\(_{3}\) leads to a loss in the hysteresis. Apart from this, we have also investigated the transport properties of the composite samples. The decrease in the \(T_{\mathrm{MI}}\) and increase in the resistivity value with the increasing concentration of the x is observed due to the presence of high resistive grain boundaries near the LSMO grains. The resistivity of the samples at \(T < T_{\mathrm{MI}}\) is well explained by the contribution of grain boundaries effect, electron–electron contribution, and electron–magnon scattering. The resistivity at higher temperature \(T > T_{\mathrm{MI}}\) is explained by the small polaron hopping (SPH) mechanism.
