Notes:
Polycrystalline bulk samples of the layered manganites La2−2xSr1+2xMn2O7 showing a colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effect were prepared for doping levels of x=0.4 and 0.5 by a solid-state reaction route. Temperature and field dependences of magnetization and of electrical resistivity have been measured between 5 K and room temperature. Ferromagnetic behavior with a Curie temperature of TC=135 K and a high value of spontaneous magnetization (64 emu g−1) was found for x=0.4. The x=0.5 compound orders antiferromagnetically near TN=215 K, showing a resistivity enhancement there. The resistivity of the x=0.4 compound shows a field dependence at low temperatures similar to that found for polycrystalline La0.7Sr0.3MnO3. The resemblance includes the presence of both a low-field and a high-field contribution to the magnetoresistance, as well as the magnitude of the low-field MR (−23% at 20 K and −15% at 77 K for H=1 kOe). The low-field MR is attributed to the effect of grain boundaries. In contrast to the grain-boundary MR of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, it was also observed at temperatures far above the TC of the layered manganite. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
