Abstract

In this paper, we elucidate the role of the manganese ion in the colossal magnetoresistance(CMR) effects by replacing the manganese ion in the CMR material with a similar transition metal ion Fe. The similar ionic radii of Fe/sup 3+/ and Mn/sup 3+/ mean that lattice distortion effects of the substitution may be ignored, and the electronic structure can be studied. Polycrystalline samples of La/sub 0.67/Ba/sub 0.33/Mn/sub 0.99//sup 57/Fe/sub 0.01/O/sub 3/ have been prepared with the aim of investigating the influence of the presence of a metal, which favors an antiferromagnetic coupling in the Mn-O layer.
