Abstract

We present magnetic and transport properties of nanocrystalline La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 powders prepared by a gel-combustion method using citric acid as the fuel. The coercive magnetic field Hc is significantly different to the field H*c for which the magnetoresistance (MR) is maximum. The MR at low fields (LFMR) exhibits a power-law dependence with magnetization, MR ∝ Mn, with n = 2.5-3.3 for temperatures ranging from 5 to 200 K. The results are discussed in terms of a distribution of particle size in our sample.
