Abstract :
A systematic investigation of magnetic and transport properties is carried out for La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 polycrystalline sample with the average grain size ∼300 nm. Experimental results are discussed in terms of spin-polarized tunnelling model. It is shown that although the resistivity ρ(T,H) is related to the magnetization M(T,H), the variation in M(T,H) does not exactly track ρ(T,H). A possible interpretation is presented by considering the alignment of Mn spins within grains and the magnetic coupling of neighboring grains.
