Abstract

Polycrystalline samples of La-Ca-Mn-O doped with Gd have been prepared. We have systematically examined their electronic transport, low-field magnetoresistance, and magnetization behaviors in a series of (La1-xGdx)0.67Ca0.33MnOδwith 0.10 ≤ x ≤ 1.00. The maximum magnetoresistance ratio at B = 0.85 T with (R0-RB)/R0= 92.5% occurs approximately at x = 0.3. It is also found that the Gd-doped samples show a novel memory effect. The effects of gadolinium ion composition on the electric and magnetoresistance behaviors of manganese perovskites (La1-xGdx)0.67Ca0.33MnOδcould arise as from changes in the average ionic radius of the La site 〈rA〉.
