摘要
The magnetoresistance of La2/3Sr1/3MnO3/CeO2 composites is explored as a function of the metal/insulator composition, temperature, and magnetic field. An important enhancement of the low-field magnetoresistance is observed for samples close to metallic percolation threshold. The improved field sensitivity is still fairly large at room temperature. Manganese perovskites composites may constitute a new alternative for the development of magnetoresistive devices. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)00926-2].
