Abstract

Magnetic and electrical properties of oxides of the formula LnMn1−xCrxO3(Ln=rare earth) have been investigated to understand the importance of the Mn3+-O-Cr3+ superexchange interactions, in contrast to the Ln1−xAxMnO3 (A=divalent cation) system, where double exchange interactions predominate. All the LnMn1−xCrxO3 compositions are ferromagnetic insulators and exhibit small values of negative magnetoresistance (MR) at ordinary temperatures, the highest value of MR at 6 T being ~20% at 120 K for some of the compositions. The results underscore the important role of double exchange, as well as lattice distortion effects, in giving rise to high values of MR in Ln1−xAxMnO3.
