Investigation of Magnetoresistance and Temperature Coefficient of Resistance in La0.67Ca0.25Sr0.08MnO3 Perovskite Manganite
摘要
Perovskite manganese oxides with ABX3-type crystal structures exhibit remarkable physical properties including metal–insulator transitions, colossal magnetoresistance, and significant temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR). In this study, polycrystalline La0.67Ca0.25Sr0.08MnO3 ceramics were synthesized via solid-state reaction. Structural characterization through x-ray diffraction confirmed single-phase formation with orthorhombic symmetry (Pnma space group). Electrical transport measurements using a Physical Property Measurement System revealed a metal–insulator transition at 266.2 K. Notably, the sample demonstrated substantial magnetoresistance (MR) across a broad temperature range, achieving 26% MR at room temperature under 5 T magnetic field. Furthermore, a maximum TCR value of 2.3% K−1 was observed near the phase transition temperature. These findings highlight the material's potential for dual-mode magnetic and temperature sensing applications in cryogenic environments.
