摘要
Bulk polycrystalline samples of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3-delta were annealed in controlled oxygen atmospheres. Two types of conditions were chosen, firstly with the aim of taking oxygen from the grain boundaries and secondly with the aim of removing oxygen uniformly from the sample. Reducing conditions increase the overall resistivity and suppress the Curie-Weiss temperature (T-c). A second peak at temperatures below T-c appears in the resistivity and magnetoresistivity when the samples are deoxygenated. However, the presence of this peak does not strongly influence the low-temperature magnetoresistance. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
