Abstract

The relevance of lattice distortion, polaron conduction, and double-exchange interaction to the occurrence of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is investigated by comparing the physical properties of magnetoresistive manganites and cobaltites. The samples studied in this work include epitaxial films and ceramics of manganites with both A- and B-site substitution, (La0.7Ca0.3MnO3, LaMn0.7 Ni0.3O3, LaMnO.5Ni0.5O3), as well as epitaxial films and ceramics of cobaltites (La0.5Ca0.5CoO3). The structural, chemical, electrical transport, magnetic, optical properties and tunneling spectroscopy are studied. Based on our experimental results, we conclude that both double-exchange interaction and strong electron-phonon coupling due to the Jahn-Teller effect are essential to the occurrence of CMR.
