摘要
We report significant enhancements of magnetoresistance in granular (La0.67Ca0.33MnO3)(x)/(SrTiO3)(1-x). The system exhibits a conduction threshold at x=x(c)similar to 60%, around which magnetoresistance versus x has a maximum. The composition x(c) at which maximum enhancement in magnetoresistance is observed is the same at high (around 5 T) and at low (a few hundred Oersted) fields. The enhancement is consistent with the disorder-driven amplification of spin-dependent transport at the structural boundaries of the mixture. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
