Abstract
Ceramic composites of La0.7Pb0.3MnO3/Ag and La0.3Pb0.3MnO3/Fe2O3 are prepared by using chemical and solid-sate sintering route. The structural and magnetotransport properties are studied for these composites. Ferromagnetism is gradually suppressed with the increase of Ag or Fe 2O3 mole percentage for both systems. The resistivity decreases significantly for La0.7Pb0.3MnO3/Ag while resistivity increases dramatically for La0.7Pb 0.3MnO3/Fe2O3. It is suggested that the introduction of Ag into the niche of grain boundaries form artificial conducting network and improve the carriers to transport. Contrarily, the Fe2O3 in La0.7Pb0.3MnO 3/Fe2O3 composite acts as a separation layer between two grains and forms the artificial tunneling junction. However, the enhancement of magnetoresistance has been observed for both systems.
