摘要
The investigation of the La-Mn-O system has allowed manganites La0.90MnO3-delta with colossal magnetoresistance properties, near room temperature, to be isolated. These phases exhibit indeed a ferromagnetic metallic to paramagnetic insulating transition, with T-C ranging from 230 K to 260 K, depending on the hole carrier density (delta = 0.05-0.06). A resistance ratio of 6 in a magnetic field of 7 T is observed near room temperature (260 K) for the first time in the La-Mn-O system. The CMR La0.9MnO3-delta phases, can be indexed in a classical rhombohedral cell, but their electron diffraction and X-ray powder study shows that their symmetry is monoclinic I2/a with a=7.790(1)Angstrom, b=5.526(1)Angstrom, c=5.479(1)Angstrom, beta=90.78 degrees. Decreasing slightly the oxygen content leads to orthorhombic phases and kills the CMR properties. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
