Abstract

Effects of soft-magnetic MnZn ferrite (Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4, MZF) and hard-magnetic Ba
ferrite (BaO?6Fe2O3, BaM) on the structure and magnetic transport properties of [La2/3Sr1/3MnO3]
(LSMO)/(x) [ferrites] (ferrites=MZF, BaM) composites have been investigated. It was found that the inclusion of MZF phase reduces
magnetization and ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition temperature (Tc) of the composites. With increasing the content of the
dopants, the high-temperature magnetoresistance (MR) decreases, whereas low-temperature MR increases and reaches 42% at 150~K and
x=0.1. However, for the LSMO/BaM composites, magnetization and ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition temperature (Tc)
decrease firstly as x<5 %, and then increase as x>5 %. The resistivity of the composites increases by five orders of magnitude
at x=1 % and is out of measured range at x=5 %. High magnetic field has little effect on the resistivity and magnetoresistance for
the composites with x>5 %, which may originate from the pinning effect of BaM grains.
