摘要
La(2/3)Sr(1/3)MnO(3) perovskite (LSMO), which shows a ferromagnetic transition above room temperature, is a good candidate to be used as a magnetoresistive sensor. Magnetic and transport properties of granular LSMO have been studied. Different grain size and the use of metal/insulator composites have been explored in order to optimize the magnetoresistive response. LSMO ceramic powder have been used to prepare thick films on polycrystalline Al(2)O(3) substrates by screen printing. The magnetoresistive response of the grown thick films is analyzed in the range of technical fields. It is shown, that under appropriate conditions, materials having field sensitivity high enough for some applications at room temperature can be obtained. A magnetic sensor has been developed in order to show the feasibility of this material as a low-cost magnetic sensor. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
