Abstract

Electrical and magnetic properties of La0.82K0.08MnO3-δ, both in polycrystalline and thin film forms, have been examined in the temperature range 1.2 to 300 K. Near the insulator-to-metal transition temperature of 260 K, the magnetoresistance values were higher for the thin film (~70%) compared to the polycrystalline sample (~35%). No magnetoresistance was observed in the thin film at low temperature. A low field magnetoresistance of 30% was observed in the temperature range 1.2-10 K in the polycrystalline sample which can be attributed to the spin dependent scattering of conduction electrons at the grain boundaries.
