Abstract
Transport properties of La0.8Ba0.2MnO3 thin films deposited by the sol–gel method were investigated. It has been found that resistivity plateaus occurred in the ρ–T curves after application of a dc bias current over a critical value. A current of 200μA could induce a huge resistance variation ∼1200% in these La0.8Ba0.2MnO3 films near room temperature, demonstrating a colossal electroresistance effect. Such strange transport behavior suggests the formation of conductive filaments and that the multi-phase coexistence is sensitive to external stimuli. This phenomenon may find applications in sensing and logic devices.
