Özet
The microstructure and magnetoresistance properties of the polycrystalline La0.67Ca0.3Mn1-xVxO3 were systematically investigated as a function of V-doping level. X-ray powder diffraction indicated that the substitution of Mn by V produced no structural change and only the diffraction lines for cubic perovskite were obtained for all samples. The detailed EDX analysis showed the existence of two phases in La0.67Ca0.3Mn1-xVxO3 (x = 0.03, 0.06, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.25) samples. The temperature dependence of resistance showed two maxima in the V-doped sample for x <= 0.15, and the peak value of magnetoresistance (MR) around insulator-metal transition temperature was increased with V-doping. Double maxima in the resistance-temperature curves were explained by the existence of two phases in La0.67Ca0.3Mn1-xVxO3 samples. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
