Grain size effect on electrical and magnetotransport properties of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 synthesized via sol-gel method
The effect of grain size on electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance (MR) effect on La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 prepared via sol-gel method was reported with different sintering temperature starting from 600°C to 1200°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show that La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 was in single phase and ha...

| description | The effect of grain size on electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance (MR) effect on La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 prepared via sol-gel method was reported with different sintering temperature starting from 600°C to 1200°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show that La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 was in single phase and had orthorhombic structure with space group Pbnm (62). The crystallite size as well as particle size show strong dependence on sintering temperature (Ts). The metal-insulator transition (TMI) and the magnitude of magnetoresistance are significantly influenced by the effective grain boundaries in LCMO polycrystalline. The TMI and its resistivity increases as the grain size and crystallite size increases (Ts increase). The highest low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR), which extrinsic percentage of MR is more dominant, observed in LC-SG8 (-12.89%) with nano-sized distribution that showing double crystallite structure. However, the highest CMR is found in LC-SG10 (-23.48%) at 80 K with 1 Tesla. These percentage variations of MR for all samples were influenced by the grain size and crystallite size variations which consequently affect the spin polarized-tunneling scattering at the grain boundary layer. |
